One of the greatest films ever made, this is sensational, complex and absolutely rivetting filmmaking by Oliver Stone about one of the most shocking American events of the 20th century and the fascinating conspiracy theories behind it.
Coppolaโs follow-up is even more ambitious in terms of narrative structure as he seamlessly explores themes of power, family and betrayal across time in one of cinemaโs most astonishing sequels.
One of Stoneโs stronger works, this recreation of the 1960s American struggle for freedom amid the turmoil of the Vietnam War is at best fervent and emotional.
Possibly the finest and most fully-realised of his early works, Wes Anderson tells a quirky story about a family full of eccentric, estranged members looking for some measure of redemption and reconciliation.
Watching and listening to farm animals can be surprisingly cinematic in this immersive dialogue-free new documentary by Kossakovsky that seems to exist outside of time, even as it startlingly reminds us that these animals have fates they canโt control.
Spielberg’s strong morality tale against greed is as spectacular as it is funny – my favourite of the Indiana Jones films.
Stone’s take on the greed and problematic ethics of Wall Street remains relevant though there is a sense of mechanical dullness to the proceedings – interesting but not particularly compelling.
Stone’s Oscar-winning film retains its power and authenticity, and ranks as one of the best Vietnam War movies ever made.
Has its moments of awe-inspiring grandeur, but the film is unable to sustain in its final act despite Spielberg’s assured direction.
