Dutta explores the inner psychological and creative world of an Indian artist who does charcoal painting through this mesmerising sensorial non-narrative.

Stoker (2013)

  • Park, Chan-wook
  • 2013, UK, USA
  • 3 Comments

A disappointing effort by Korean auteur Park Chan-wook – an unfortunate case of too much style and too little substance.

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 2.5 out of 5.

Enemy (2013)

  • Villeneuve, Denis
  • 2013, Canada, Denis Villeneuve
  • 5 Comments

A strong mood exercise that brings to the fore a tense psychological mystery that is both twisting and twisted.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Prisoners (2013)

  • Villeneuve, Denis
  • 2013, Denis Villeneuve, USA
  • 11 Comments

Denis Villeneuve’s assured direction and Roger Deakins’ evocative cinematography elevates this seemingly generic suburban mystery-thriller into something that will shock and haunt you.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Dance of Reality, The (2013)

  • Jodorowsky, Alejandro
  • 2013, Alejandro Jodorowsky, Chile
  • 3 Comments

Jodorowsky’s return to filmmaking after 23 years is a dazzling, self-indulgent portrait of his childhood under the surrealistic veil of psychomagic. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sacro GRA (2013)

  • Rosi, Gianfranco
  • 2013, Documentary, Gianfranco Rosi
  • 4 Comments

Interesting and dull at the same time, this ‘documentary movie’ operates as a series of vignettes of people who live next to an enormous ring road around Rome.

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3 out of 5.

‘Til Madness Do Us Part (2013)

  • Wang Bing
  • 2013, China, Documentary, Hong Kong, Wang Bing
  • 2 Comments

Wang Bing’s extraordinary observational documentary shows us what it’s like in a mental asylum in China—for four gruelling hours, we find ourselves full of human empathy and incapable of rendering judgment.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Tale of the Princess Kaguya, The (2013)

  • Takahata, Isao
  • 2013, Isao Takahata, Japan, Studio Ghibli

A familiar if exposition-heavy anime that prides itself in being remarkably composed with its sheer beauty and breathtaking visuals.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Night Moves (2013)

  • Reichardt, Kelly
  • 2013, Kelly Reichardt, USA
  • 3 Comments

Reichardt is such a skilled filmmaker that the moral consequences of eco-terrorism is given as nuanced a treatment as possible in this slow-burning gem. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.
