After Hours
Once upon a time, there were these princelings called yuppies, and if they lived in Manhattan, they didn’t really go below 14th Street because it was Different. You see, Soho wasn’t a ritzy mall back then. Also, there were no cell phones or ATMs. Return to that magical time with Martin Scorsese’s nightmare comedy, which features more »

The Pianist
Compared to some of Roman Polanski’s true masterworks, The Pianist is unflashy, almost workmanlike in its filmmaking. The better to bear witness, perhaps, to the incredible true story of Wƚadysƚaw Szpilman (Adrien Brody), a Polish Jew during World War II who survived the Nazi invasion, the liquidation of the ghetto, and the fina more »
Coming Soon
My National Gallery, London
The National Gallery of London is one of the world’s greatest art galleries. It is full of masterpieces, an endless resource of history, an endless source of stories. But whose stories are told?

Menus-Plaisirs — Les Troisgros

Vanishing Point
Pop existentialism at its most ‘70s, and the film that parked the Dodge Charger in the cinematic pantheon. Barry Newman powers a pill-popping gear-jammer who spends the entire film in flight from the law and his past (doled out in flashbacks) as he hurtles toward an inevitable fate. Journeyman director Richard Sarafian lensed th more »
Pickup on South Street
Samuel Fuller pummels the screen with his two-fisted filmmaking style, this time applied to a crafty noir that pits wily pickpocket Richard Widmark against the feds and the reds after he lifts some atomic secrets off an unwitting moll played by Jean Peters. Almost worth seeing just for the great character actor Thelma Ritter as more »
Badlands
The next time someone trots out the canard about using narration as a sign of weak filmmaking skills, throw Terence Malick’s debut back in their face.
