Time for Drunken Horses, A (2000)

  • Ghobadi, Bahman
  • 2000, Bahman Ghobadi, Iran
  • Leave a comment

A revelatory feature debut by Ghobadi, whose work with child actors and eye for natural landscapes is remarkable, telling a story of perseverance amid desperation set near the porous if dangerous Iran-Iraq border. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Sexy Beast (2000)

  • Others
  • 2000, Jonathan Glazer, UK
  • Leave a comment

Glazer’s stylish feature debut is quite sensational—a hilariously tense showdown between a laidback Ray Winstone and a foul-mouthed Ben Kingsley, the latter hoping to recruit the former, a ‘retired’ safecracker, for a final heist.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Traffic (2000)

  • Criterion Collection, Soderbergh, Steven
  • 2000, Steven Soderbergh, USA
  • 3 Comments

Soderbergh is at his commanding best in this powerful and unsettling film that captures the essence of the U.S-Mexico drug trade as it is, and without the need to moralise.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Erin Brockovich (2000)

  • Soderbergh, Steven
  • 2000, Steven Soderbergh, USA
  • 3 Comments

A David versus Goliath true story done right by Soderbergh, featuring two outstanding performances from Julia Roberts and Albert Finney.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Gladiator (2000)

  • Scott, Ridley
  • 2000, Ridley Scott, USA
  • 8 Comments

A stunning return to form by Ridley Scott, who revived the swords-and-sandals movie in the 2000s.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Under the Sand (2000)

  • Ozon, Francois
  • 2000, France, Francois Ozon
  • Leave a comment

A woman’s husband disappears in Ozon’s psychological drama about grief and denial, starring Charlotte Rampling in one of her finest performances.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Maelstrom (2000)

  • Villeneuve, Denis
  • 2000, Canada, Denis Villeneuve
  • Leave a comment

A talking fish on the chopping board partly narrates this interesting if weird non-linearly-structured sophomore feature by Villeneuve that is tonally all over the place, as it explores how cosmic connections mediate between actions and consequences.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Suzhou River (2000)

  • Lou, Ye
  • 2000, China, Lou Ye
  • 3 Comments

Lou Ye’s breakthrough is a risqué-lite affair, shot in a gritty, disjointed style that pays homage to Hitchcock’s Vertigo.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

State I Am In, The (2000)

  • Petzold, Christian
  • 2000, Christian Petzold, Germany
  • 1 Comment

A teenage girl and her parents who are far-left terrorists on the run are the focus of this promising and largely riveting feature debut that combines coming-of-age tropes with crime and politics, while at the same time turning some of these conventions upside-down.  

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Code Unknown (2000)

  • Criterion Collection, Haneke, Michael
  • 2000, France, Michael Haneke
  • 1 Comment

This is Haneke in peak form—made up of more than forty vignettes shot in long takes that combine to give us a fragmentary sense of what it feels like to live in a multi-racial yet racist, technological yet incommunicable post-2000s world.    

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 5 out of 5.
