Hannah Arendt

September 19, 2013 Pam Jahn

Philosopher Hannah Arendt was both famous and controversial. Margarethe von Trotta’s film tells her story with appropriate restraint.

The Gospel according to Matthew

April 16, 2012 VirginieSelavy

I would recommend watching Pasolini’s The Gospel according to Matthew only if you really fancy seeing the story of Christ played out in Italian (I did).

Medea

December 9, 2011 VirginieSelavy

Pasolini’s fantasy vision of Greek myth seems to be some kind of hymn to the primitive, paean to the pagan.

Solaris

July 3, 2011 VirginieSelavy

This justly famous film is science fiction for people who don’t like science fiction.

Rififi

May 13, 2011 VirginieSelavy

The key to Rififi is its vividness: the swiftness of exposition, the tellingness of the dialogue, the immediacy of the character portrayals.

Two films by Jacques Tati

December 16, 2010 VirginieSelavy

Two holidays: a week at the seaside; and 24 hours in Paris. Tati’s best-loved film, which made him famous; and his magnum opus, which ruined him.

Adelheid

September 5, 2010 VirginieSelavy

It is immediately clear that Adelheid is more subtle and sombre than any of these in its treatment of the war, or rather of its moral and emotional aftermath.

Earth

August 1, 2010 VirginieSelavy 1 Comment

Watchers of Alexander Dovzhenko’s 1930 silent film about collectivisation of agriculture in the Ukraine must accustom themselves to being treated like dimwits. You can see who the hero is because he is strong and tall and handsome.

Diamonds of the Night

June 1, 2010 VirginieSelavy

Diamonds of the Night is a very closely focused film, and its focus is the moment-to-moment bodily experience of two young Czechs on the run from the Nazis.

M

February 1, 2010 VirginieSelavy

The first time I saw M, my experience of the film was dominated by Peter Lorre’s startling performance.
