Simply lovely. A must-watch film and one of my all time favourites. It may be long, black & white, old and subtitled (to the non French speakers) but please don't let any of these put you off. It's a masterpiece!

This film is something of a change of pace for Kaurismäki as it is more unambiguously comic than most of the rest of his oeuvre. Most Kaurismäki films strike a fine balance between a dry, sardonic, black Finnish humour and a sense of drama and gravity, but in Leningrad Cowboys Go America we see a more playful - even Pythonesque at times - Kaurismäki, and very enjoyable it is too! We follow the fortunes of the Leningrad Cowboys, a deeply untalanted band from Siberia who are advised to go to America because "they'll put up with anything there." Led by their despotic manager Vladimir, the band take their music, and their distinctive hairstyles, across America - looking less for fame and fortune than to scrape enough money together to eat.

As a relative newcomer to the Anime genre, Previously only having seen Fist of The North Star ( also excellent) and various series on TV, I was very pleasantly surprised by this title. It proves that Anime does not need to be ultra-violent to provide non-childish entertainment. I thought the whole film was wonderfully drawn and animated, and the humour, while not hugely sophisticated, to be very amusing in a surreal way (especially the sea cucumbers!) The only down points I found with this film were the constant jokes about Lina's breasts, which became a little wearing, and the perhaps slightly ponderous plot development in the early stages of the film. Otherwise, this was an excellent piece of animation which I recommend Fully.

Every Man For Himself and God Against All aka The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser is a prime slice of pre-nutter-in-the-jungle Werner Herzog and makes an interesting companion piece to Truffaut's L'Enfant Sauvage/The Wild Child. Where Truffaut used his true story of a foundling more animal than boy as proof of the human soul, Herzog uses the real-life mystery of Hauser as a means of showing that society's accepted way of looking at the world may not necessarily be the most valid - as demonstrated when Hauser's contention that apples are tired is seemingly proved by the inability of his guardian to demonstrate that they are inanimate objects subject to man's will.
Thanks as much to a truly alien performance from Bruno S. in the lead role - he really ... Read More: >>More Details |

I only took a liking to this film when I watched it with the director's commentary. It's an incredibly sweet story about a black girl from an upper middle classed background and a white girl from a working class background. The story isn't so complex, but then that's not what this film is about. It's incredibly sunny and optimistic, which at first seems unrealistic. For example, the ending is more like a comedy sketch, and a teenager dating a thirty-something broad seems really unlikely. But it's about coming out, finding your first love - and I think that is very well portrayed. Randy and Evie are remarkably cute, and I wonder why I haven't seen them elsewhere. This is clearly a budget film - if you watch closely, you'll see there are about ten other people ... Read More: >>More Details |

My full reviews are not being published for some reason, so I'll not waste my time (or yours) here and simply say that this film was so amateur it was (almost) amusing. Hammiest 'acting' I have ever seen.
Let's see if this review passes the censors. Pale >>More Details |

I have this (the Artificial Eye release). It's a bit thin and fuzzy and a little background research suggests that the R1 NTSC copy is a lot better, with stronger colour, contrast and detail (though Blue and White seem to be ok on both sides of the Pond). I suspect there'll be a remastered "trilogy" set from France (probably Mk2) sooner or later.

If you have to see one film in your lifetime, make it Pasolini's Medea. It has everything - superb plot, location, acting, direction - and more. Maria Callas, magnificent on the screen as the abandoned wife Medea, steals your breath away as she first betrayes her people to help Jason steal the Golden Fleece, and then wreaks a terrible revenge when she is in turn betrayed by him for another woman. Pasolini's direction is gentle yet precise, allowing Callas to unfold in all the vehemence of her passion, elciting from her a great performance. A must for all lovers of great films!
