Not exactly fully-developed, but interesting nonetheless – this is an animation about an apocalyptic world that is more suitable for teenagers than kids.

A decent directorial feature debut that is an honest and intimate coming-of-age portrayal of a teenagerโ€™s sexual awakening.

Youth Without Youth (2007)

  • Coppola, Francis Ford
  • 2007, Francis Ford Coppola, Romania, USA
  • Leave a comment

One of Coppola’s weakest efforts in what is a heavy-handed and muddling mess of a film, despite the good performance by Tim Roth.

Good but not great, this final film of the ‘Godfather’ trilogy should still please the more generous fans.

They Live by Night (1948)

  • Criterion Collection, Ray, Nicholas

Nicholas Rayโ€™s debut feature is a straightforward lovers-on-the-run โ€˜romance-noirโ€™ with strong chemistry between the two leads.

Superb political mystery-thriller that is stimulating, and featuring magnetic performances from Jack Lemmon and Sissy Spacek.

An affirmation of values of love and compassion, this sentimental film banks on Tom Hanksโ€™ genial performance as the famous Fred Rogers.

Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters (1985)

  • Criterion Collection, Schrader, Paul
  • 1985, Japan, Paul Schrader, USA
  • 3 Comments

One of the most visually-stunning biopics ever made, this complexly-layered work about art, politics, memory and imagination is arguably Paul Schraderโ€™s finest moment as a filmmaker.
