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.

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.

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

I’m Thinking of Ending Things (2020)

  • Others
  • 2020, Charlie Kaufman, USA
  • 1 Comment

It is as if Charlie Kaufman had reimagined โ€˜The Shiningโ€™ in a whole new dimensionโ€”this indescribably cerebral and atmospheric film, an adaptation of the 2016 novel of the same name, enthrals as much as it frustrates.

Memento (2000)

  • Nolan, Christopher
  • 2000, Christopher Nolan, USA
  • 8 Comments

One of the most complex and innovative original screenplays of the 2000s decade, Nolan’s early masterwork is a terrific mystery-thriller told in reverse-chronological order.
