Fallen Angels (1995)

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

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

My Sister’s Good Fortune (1995)

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

Schanelecโ€™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.

Casino (1995)

  • Scorsese, Martin
  • 1995, Martin Scorsese, USA
  • 8 Comments

Scorseseโ€™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.

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 Baumbachโ€™s clever script does all the hard work for them.

Ceremonie, La (1995)

  • Chabrol, Claude, Criterion Collection
  • 1995, Claude Chabrol, France
  • 4 Comments

Chabrolโ€™s firm Hitchcockian grasp on the crime-mystery belies his even more remarkable work with his characters and narrative, making this one of the great works of his late career.

Se7en (1995)

  • Fincher, David
  • 1995, David Fincher, USA
  • 5 Comments

Fincherโ€™s now-classic โ€˜90s take on the grisly investigative crime movie is engrossing, well-made, and may well chill you to the bone.

Dead Man (1995)

  • Criterion Collection, Jarmusch, Jim
  • 1995, Jim Jarmusch, USA
  • 5 Comments

A stylish revisionist anti-Western masterpiece by Jim Jarmusch that is both surreal, spiritual and poetic, backed by a stunning improvised โ€˜liveโ€™ score by Neil Young.

Land and Freedom (1995)

  • Loach, Ken
  • 1995, Ken Loach, Spain, UK
  • 1 Comment

Loach tackles the Spanish Civil War with aplomb in this unique war film that is not about war itself but the battle of ideals and minds.

Mee Pok Man (1995)

  • Khoo, Eric
  • 1995, Eric Khoo, Singapore
  • 2 Comments

3 stars

An invigorating feature debut that is raw and bold, if not particularly well-paced, but it almost singularly put Singapore back on the filmmaking map in the mid-1990s.

Toy Story (1995)

  • Popular
  • 1995, John Lasseter, Pixar, USA
  • 5 Comments

An instant classic – without Pixar’s first breakthrough hit, there wouldn’t have been CG animation today.
