Black Cat, White Cat (1998)

  • Others
  • 1998, Emir Kusturica, Yugoslavia
  • Leave a comment

Kusturica’s Venice Silver Lion winner is as raucous a cinematic affair as any—its infectious energy doesn’t drop one bit as a bizarre story of small-time gangsters, poor gypsies and arranged marriages play out in a Serbian village along the Danube River.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

April (1998)

  • Moretti, Nanni
  • 1998, Italy, Nanni Moretti
  • Leave a comment

A delightful comical romp by Moretti, who channels both the personal and the political in this sly ‘documentary’ masquerading as a drama about a filmmaker-turned-father having an existential crisis.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Autumn Tale, An (1998)

  • Rohmer, Eric
  • 1998, Eric Rohmer, France
  • Leave a comment

A winner of Best Screenplay at Venice, Rohmer’s final ‘Four Seasons’ entry is an incisive and revelatory take on finding romance at a much older age, featuring two outstanding performances by Marie Riviere and Beatrice Romand.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Last Days, The (1998)

  • Others
  • 1998, Documentary, USA
  • Leave a comment

Any film about the Holocaust is always essential viewing—this Oscar-winning documentary details the testimonies of five Hungarian Jews who survived the concentration camps during the time when the Nazis brutally intensified their extermination plan despite knowing they were losing the war.  

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thin Red Line, The (1998)

  • Criterion Collection, Malick, Terrence
  • 1998, Terrence Malick, USA
  • 4 Comments

Arguably Terrence Malick’s greatest work – a masterpiece of light and darkness, calmness and brutality, and the intertwining of both, in this singular war film.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Saving Private Ryan (1998)

  • Spielberg, Steven
  • 1998, Steven Spielberg, USA
  • 13 Comments

One of the greatest war movies ever made, Spielberg’s visceral and immersive approach and the film’s strong technical prowess continue to amaze more than two decades on.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Rushmore (1998)

  • Anderson, Wes, Criterion Collection
  • 1998, USA, Wes Anderson
  • 4 Comments

An oddball coming-of-age comedy revolving around a prep school student that is well-staged to a fault.

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Pickpocket (1998)

  • Jia, Zhangke
  • 1998, China, Jia Zhangke
  • 1 Comment

As China urbanises, a man stagnates in this masterful and revelatory feature debut by Jia Zhangke, shot in 16mm and featuring non-professional actors. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

August 32nd on Earth (1998)

  • Villeneuve, Denis
  • 1998, Canada, Denis Villeneuve
  • 1 Comment

Chanelling the free spirit of the French New Wave, Villeneuve’s first feature is stylistically bold but falls short as a narrative about two ex-lovers who cannot be together.

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Following (1998)

  • Nolan, Christopher
  • 1998, Christopher Nolan, UK
  • Leave a comment

Startlingly assured debut by Christopher Nolan in this noir-mystery that lays the first brick for ‘Memento‘ (2000) and ‘Inception‘ (2010).

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.
