Dear Readers,
Kurosawa’s late-career epic believes in the potential for imitation to have real meaning.
Soderbergh’s commitment to realism and objectivity supplies Contagion with a warning nearly an entire decade before the arrival of COVID-19.
A story that shreds the emotions.
Is this the coolest film ever made?
Varda’s film about a way of thinking—not only about products and the food industry as a whole, but about the world.
A ponderous film about beauty and death, objectivity and subjectivity, realism and expressionism, and the world that stifles yet enriches.
It reminds us that memory is selective, and so is our past, sometimes in unresolvable ways.
To call the film misunderstood in 2001, or even today, is an understatement.
Few films have ever walked the thin line between earnestness and irony so flawlessly.
