The Great Beauty100
Dec 5, 2013
If you know Federico Fellini's "La Dolce Vita," you'll be unable to watch The Great Beauty without thinking about it. This gorgeous Italian movie, like its predecessor, balances pungent satire and a more melancholy mood in portraying the dissolute world of the upper crust in contemporary Rome.
A Moment of InnocenceCritic ScoreSan Francisco Examiner
100
Turns into something like a screwball farce, an intimate, self-aware one.
Marcel Proust's Time RegainedCritic ScoreSan Francisco Examiner

Ruiz has made the most ambitious adaptation of a Proust work yet.
Gimme ShelterCritic ScoreSan Francisco Examiner
100
Timeless, and as fine a depiction of human folly as you're likely to see at the movies.
The LimeyCritic ScoreSan Francisco Examiner
100
Makes a term like neo-noir seem like a fatuous catch phrase.
The Wind Will Carry UsCritic ScoreSan Francisco Examiner
100
Kiarostami's genius is elusive. His films may be unknowable, but they are undeniably hypnotic, charismatic.
Cookie's FortuneCritic ScoreSan Francisco Examiner
100
Meanders around Holly Springs, Mississippi, with the fuzzy benevolence of a Hallmark Hall of Fame presentation.

One of the most complex and powerful literary scripts in recent times.
