Lumumba (Special Edition)

, Alex Descas
Zeitgeist Films, 2002
A part of African history everyone should know about
I enjoyed this movie very much. Accoring to most available literature, this movie is historically accurate. Peck is a well respected director and seems to have done a good job presenting the truth. Lumumba is an icon in African history and he represents the hope and ...

A Brilliant Masterpiece
Claire Denis has done the unthinkable and topped her previous masterpiece, Beau Travail, with this marvelously elliptical and oneiric film. This is a film that you feel, a deeply challenging and ultimately incredibly rewarding cinematic experience. It also features ...

Late August, Early September

Zeitgeist Films, 2003
The Best French Film of the Year
Late August, Early September is a gem. If you like Rohmer, but need more 'character complexity', this film will satisfy your need for intellectual stimulation, poignancy, and reality. This film is to cinema what Kundera is to literature.

Fox Lorber, 1998
Great Misunderstood Film
Irma Vep elicits two reactions from different groups of people: nay sayers who view it as yet another boring French film and people who focus on the film-about-a-film. I think it is seriously misleading to view the film in either of these lights. Irma Vep should be ...

MGM (Video & DVD), 2004
Go. Make art.
Seeing that it got quite a few 1 star ratings, I decided it needed more credit. The artists here are just excercising their creative urges to go beyond conventional mainstream film making and are having fun doing it. Whoever has a problem with that, needs to check ...

Storyteller's Delight!
I own the VHS of this movie, and can tell you it is based on fact. What a tragic tale told so wonderfully. It has been said there is a lot of nudity, but truly not as much as one could expect. This film really does give the viewer a trip into the royal Turkish harem at ...

Magnolia, 2008
Three stars just for Asia Argento....
....and the film is better than people are giving it credit for. Shot in the same "Bourne" still grainy/moodiness of Olivier Assayas last film "Demonlover", it provides passable entertainment and international intrigue. Makes a good double bill with Demonlover.

Richard Courcet
Fox Lorber, 2005
The Point Being
I believe that people who search for the director's point or meaning to the overlapping stories in "I Can't Sleep" only do themselves a disfavor. This film, with its dreamy music, pensive acting and odd flavor seems more about the lack of a point. All the plots in ...
