Underneath, The (1995)

  • Soderbergh, Steven
  • 1995, Steven Soderbergh, USA
  • 2 Comments

Dissed even by Soderbergh himself, this is a flawed if underrated noirish crime-thriller that works in its own oddly-paced way. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

City of Lost Children, The (1995)

  • Others
  • 1995, France, Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Marc Caro
  • Leave a comment

It’s probably one of the most visually stunning films from the ‘90s with incredible production design and cinematography, but it can be difficult to care for its fractured story or the array of eccentric characters. 

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Nixon (1995)

  • Stone, Oliver
  • 1995, Oliver Stone, USA
  • 1 Comment

Largely compelling and a history lesson as dramatic entertainment, Stone’s ambitious if sometimes heavy-handed portrait of the flawed presidency of Richard Nixon borders on Shakespearean tragedy.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Summer Snow (1995)

  • Hui, Ann
  • 1995, Ann Hui, Hong Kong
  • 1 Comment

Rich characterisations adorn this talky slice-of-life drama from Ann Hui as it tackles love-hate family dynamics and dementia with bittersweet results.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Rendezvous in Paris (1995)

  • Rohmer, Eric
  • 1995, Eric Rohmer, France
  • Leave a comment

Three quite indelible stories about people in love (or not) as coincidences threaten to derail their intimate intentions in this charming Rohmerian comedy set around the beautiful spaces of Paris.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Bombay (1995)

  • Ratnam, Mani
  • 1995, India, Mani Ratnam
  • 3 Comments

Still banned theatrically in close-minded Singapore, this rousing, emotional work from Mani Ratnam about the conflicts stirred between the Hindus and Muslims is essential viewing for anyone who wants to understand why we must never bear religious and racial hatred.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Fallen Angels (1995)

  • Criterion Collection, Wong, Kar Wai
  • 1995, Hong Kong, Wong, Kar Wai
  • 3 Comments

It may be difficult to connect emotionally, but this darker companion piece to ‘Chungking Express’ (1994) has all the hallmarks of Hong Kong’s premier visual stylist.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

My Sister’s Good Fortune (1995)

  • Schanelec, Angela
  • 1995, Angela Schanelec, Germany
  • Leave a comment

Schanelec’s graduation feature sets her observant slow-cinema style in stone in this unconventional love triangle drama where the protagonist is torn between loving two women who are half-sisters. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Casino (1995)

  • Scorsese, Martin
  • 1995, Martin Scorsese, USA
  • 7 Comments

Scorsese’s underappreciated 3-hour crime epic, about a high-end Las Vegas casino being run by an organised crime syndicate, is one of his most riveting films.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Kicking and Screaming (1995)

  • Baumbach, Noah, Criterion Collection
  • 1995, Noah Baumbach, USA
  • Leave a comment

A strong feature debut about postgraduation aimlessness that milks hilarity through an array of self-analytical characters who are far too absorbed in their own ennui to really think for themselves, but Baumbach’s clever script does all the hard work for them.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.
