"Remake d'un classique du film fantastique de Jacques Tourneur, avec Simone Simon dans le rôle-titre, La Féline aurait pu n'être qu'une bonne série B sans la personnalité de son réalisateur, Paul Schrader. Scénariste de Martin Scorsese – Taxi Driver, À tombeau ouvert – ou Brian de Palma – Obsession – ce cinéphile invétéré – auteur d'une thèse sur Dreyer, Bresson et Ozu – passe à la réalisation en 1978 avec une comédie sociale, Blue Colla ..."
"In the age of ever-increasing crassness on screen (see the Farrelly brothers' comedies), there are some filmmakers who can make serious commentary instead of just throwaway gags. Neil LaBute's second feature is a corkscrew comedy of savage, bitter people who can't find happiness in many a thing, let alone sex. The film is not as tight or commanding as his first feature, the black-hearted In the Company of Men, but he gives six nameless ..."
"Released two years later than originally scheduled, Town & Country was plagued by the kind of negative buzz that few movies recover from. Like the infamous Ishtar, this Warren Beatty-led ensemble comedy is ungainly and erratic, but when it's funny it's quite funny, and the involvement of cowriter Buck Henry makes it a lot smarter than most of what passes for wit in postmillennial comedy. An updated sex farce fueled by modern-day foibles ..."

"Splicing scenes featuring his protagonist, Ivan (John Savage, The Deer Hunter), among excerpted interviews with real soldiers from John Huston's landmark World War II documentary Let There Be Light, director Andrei Konchalovsky brilliantly sets the stage for a morally ambiguous tale of a war hero's return home to a small town. Disappointingly, the opening of Maria's Lovers promises much more than it ultimately delivers. Ivan has survive ..."
"Thomas Hardy's The Mayor of Casterbridge has been transplanted to the edge of the American frontier in this vivid drama that didn't receive the theatrical exposure it deserved. Although top young actors adorn the movie's ads, the central character--Daniel Dillon, a man who runs the gold rush town of Kingdom Come--is played by little-known Peter Mullen. In the dead of winter in 1849, three people arrive in town, changing irrevocably Dill ..."

"When an angel dares to cross the line, he stumbles into the harsh reality of post-Cold War Berlin and finds himself engaged in deadly combat to protect the mortals he loves.The gravity-defying imagery of director Wim Wenders (Wings of Desire; Paris, Texas) gives wings to this daring film of suspense and intrigue.

"Divorced and looking for revenge Susan (kinski) recruits her lover an insurance agent to kill her ex husband highlander so she can inherit his substantial life insurance policy."
"Filmed in Montenegro and based on true accounts of the early '90s ethnic clashes between Serbia and neighboring states, Savior is a harrowing triumph for Serbian director Pedrag Peter Antonijevic and actor Dennis Quaid. For Antonijevic, who shaped Robert Orr's script through his own knowledge of the Serb-Bosnian struggle, the story provides the daunting challenge of putting a human face on a monstrous chapter in modern Europe's geopolit ..."

"Don Luciano and wife Graziella live happily in Sicily with their four sons. Tragedy strikes when their favorite son Michael is kidnapped and murdered. The family suspect Mafia rival Peter Carolla and vow revenge."
"This big and sometimes messy movie achieves the seemingly impossible: it demythologizes the American Revolution and lets us see it in a completely new light. Hugh Hudson (Chariots of Fire) has directed a starkly beautiful, powerfully visceral portrait of war from the point of view of the little people who are swept along in its wake. Al Pacino is Tom Dobb, a poor, illiterate trapper bringing up a young son when rebellion breaks out in ..."
