  • 2007, Eran Kolirin, Israel

 A charming standout feature debut from Israeli filmmaker Eran Kolirin, whose work here explores culture and communication and the importance of co-existence and understanding in a divided world.

Zodiac (2007)

  • Fincher, David
  • 2007, David Fincher, USA
  • 8 Comments

Hard to deny that this is Fincher’s magnum opus—this extraordinary crime procedural based on the unsolved Zodiac killings of the late 1960s is surely one of the most chillingly suspenseful films from the 2000s decade. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 5 out of 5.

881 (2007)

  • Tan, Royston
  • 2007, Royston Tan, Singapore
  • 1 Comment

One of the most crowd-pleasing Singaporean films of the 2000s, Royston Tan’s getai movie is both riotously funny and a tearjerking melodrama.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Mourning Forest, The (2007)

  • Kawase, Naomi
  • 2007, Japan, Naomi Kawase
  • 3 Comments

There’s a certain indescribable sense of tranquility and ‘silence’ to this beautiful melancholic work that is as much about grief as it is about the end of mourning.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Redacted (2007)

  • De Palma, Brian
  • 2007, Brian De Palma, Canada, USA
  • Leave a comment

Not well-appreciated in its time, this satirical docu-style fiction feels like the last word on America’s controversial involvement in the Iraq War, and sees De Palma at his most liberal and provocative.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Yella (2007)

  • Petzold, Christian
  • 2007, Christian Petzold, Germany
  • Leave a comment

It draws heavy inspiration from the 1962 indie horror ‘Carnival of Souls‘, but the storytelling and execution are unmistakably Petzold’s as he tackles failed dreams and false hopes in this slow-burning psychological biz thriller.  

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

My Blueberry Nights (2007)

  • Wong, Kar Wai
  • 2007, Hong Kong, USA, Wong, Kar Wai
  • Leave a comment

Wong’s English-language debut could be his weakest film, though there are moments of soulfulness to savour. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Funny Games U.S. (2007)

  • Haneke, Michael
  • 2007, France, Michael Haneke, USA
  • 1 Comment

A shot-by-shot U.S. remake by Haneke himself of his earlier work, which might just challenge more viewers to tackle his singular filmography.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Darjeeling Limited, The (2007)

  • Anderson, Wes, Criterion Collection
  • 2007, USA, Wes Anderson

The auteur brings his idiosyncratic style and a developing sense of filmmaking maturity to the East in this colourful and quirky shot-in-India road trip.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.
