The Bonfire of the Vanities
Tom Hanks, Bruce Willis
Warner Home Video, 2004
The truth shall set you free, and if it doesn't,... LIE LIKE HELL!
+ De Palma doesn't do straight satire.

Not for Everybody

I love this movie but I do realize it's not for everybody. In a single long take we travel trough Russian history in the great Russian Art museum, The Hermitage.

Universal Studios, 2007
Children of Men in the Playground of Death
+ Absolutely amazing
The Good Things
*Unrestricted levels of violence and brutality, realistically portraying a society in a downward spiral. It's very intense and thought-provoking.
*Camera style, even though is free-handed, is still very smooth and slick (meaning that it doesn't shake around too much).
*Many ...
