Pleasure of Being Robbed, The (2008)

  • Safdie, Josh & Benny
  • 2008, Josh & Benny Safdie, USA
  • Leave a comment

The Safdiesโ€™ feature debut might not be a substantial piece of work but it is an uncut gemโ€”rough and raw, yet possessing the heart of a passionate storyteller with a 16mm camera.

Carnival of Souls (1962)

  • Criterion Collection, Others
  • 1962, USA
  • 1 Comment

A terrific low-budget atmospheric horror film from the โ€˜60s that is genuinely frightening, backed by a disquieting organ score.

Isle of Dogs (2018)

  • Anderson, Wes, Criterion Collection
  • 2018, Germany, USA, Wes Anderson
  • 2 Comments

Wes Anderson’s quirky set-in-Japan dogs’ tale is breathtaking in its stop-motion animation detail, while accruing a rhythmic sense of movement and storytelling momentum from start to end.

Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, The (2004)

  • Anderson, Wes, Criterion Collection
  • 2004, USA, Wes Anderson
  • 1 Comment

Slightly overlong and its offbeat humour doesnโ€™t always work, but this is one of Wes Andersonโ€™s most strangely enigmatic of screen adventures.

Rushmore (1998)

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

Nomadland before Nomadland, Rosiโ€™s raw, no holds barred documentary on folks living in isolation on buses and vans in the Californian desert finds grace and empathy in their existence.
