A quirky, moody tale of crime and masculinity in crisis in post-recession Japan, with a scene-stealing performance from Takeshi 'Beat' Kitano.
Drama
Punch-Drunk Love
An absolute triumph.
Oodishon
A slow-burning psychological thriller that builds ominously and inexorably to its shocking pay-off and then leaves you squirming in your seat – but with enough subtlety and depth that for days afterwards you will be trying to pick up the pieces. 'Audition' is a meditative, melancholic masterpiece that is not for the squeamish.
Le Fate ignoranti
Good acting and production design are not enough to conceal the dirty little secret that 'Le Fate Ignoranti' has a plodding pace, unengaging characters and a meandering plot.
Taking Sides
A highly political piece of art about the relationship of art and politics outstanding, and never more relevant.
The Good Thief
Always dark, often grimy, and never particularly interesting. Give it a go from the rental store, but dont waste your money on buying it.
