Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, A (2014)

  • Others
  • 2014, Ana Lily Amirpour, USA
  • Leave a comment

It frequently feels like a self-admiring work intoxicated with its own style and mood, but this chic arthouse vampire indie, shot in the Persian language, offers a taste of honey amid the spillage of blood.

Beach Rats (2017)

  • Hittman, Eliza
  • 2017, Eliza Hittman, USA
  • 2 Comments

Hittmanโ€™s second feature is a naturalistic, and at times, sensual work about a young man seeking self-discovery through experimentation with drugs and sex with older men.

Raging Bull (1980)

  • Criterion Collection, Scorsese, Martin
  • 1980, Martin Scorsese, USA
  • 13 Comments

One of Scorseseโ€™s greatest accomplishmentsโ€”an astonishing character study of the rise and fall of a world champion middleweight boxer that is also an acting and editing masterclass.

Casino (1995)

  • Scorsese, Martin
  • 1995, Martin Scorsese, USA
  • 8 Comments

Scorseseโ€™s underappreciated 3-hour crime epic, about a high-end Las Vegas casino being run by an organised crime syndicate, is one of his most riveting films.

Do the Right Thing (1989)

  • Criterion Collection, Lee, Spike
  • 1989, Spike Lee, USA
  • 6 Comments

A cultural touchstone in modern American cinema, Spike Leeโ€™s breakthrough tell-it-as-it-is treatment of racism is even more sobering to view more than 30 years later.

Beguiled, The (2017)

  • Coppola, Sofia
  • 2010, Sofia Coppola, USA
  • 2 Comments

Sofia Coppolaโ€™s latest is a disquieting look at gender politics with a strong Southern Gothic undercurrent of sexual tension.

Sofia Coppola returns to contemporary urban filmmaking in this charming indie about marriages and affairs as a young mother and her womanising father try to make sense of the trajectory of their current lives.

Somewhere (2010)

  • Coppola, Sofia
  • 2010, Sofia Coppola, USA
  • 1 Comment

A gentle if slight film from Sofia Coppola that sees her going for a low-key character study of a burned-out Hollywood actor.

Bling Ring, The (2013)

  • Coppola, Sofia
  • 2013, Sofia Coppola, USA

An empty film with shallow characters, this is Sofia Coppola’s worst hour as a filmmaker.
