European Movie Reviews
Reviews of great (and not so great) films from Europe.
Top 5 European Movies
The Five Obstructions (2003) Sometimes it is only through being constrained that an artist can truly be free. Jørgen Leth's perfection as a director is revealed and reaffirmed by Lars von Trier's five diabolical attempts to introduce flaws to his work, in a film which is thought-provoking, enigmatic, humane and warmly funny.
10/10
L'Âge d'Or (1930) This bourgeois-baiting masterpiece of celluloid surrealism is the crowning collaborative achievement of Buñuel and Dali - a biting, often hilarious dream-piece depicting civilisation barely founded, sensuality barely concealed and characters barely awake.
10/10
La Dolce vita (1960) A timeless, bittersweet carnival of severed roots, disintegrating values, lost innocence and dumbing down. Unmissable!
10/10
Fa yeung nin wa (2000) A masterpiece of romantic restraint and melancholic nostalgia which keeps the past at a stylish distance.
