It takes wisdom and character to be able to portray the humanity of a mass-murderer, to find beauty in absolute horror, and to forgive and embrace such deep contradictions. Oppenheimer is not making a sequel of his extraordinary The Act of Killing, but an “in-quel”: he gets inside his pr...

A(nother) film shot in one continuous take. But this one really seems to be only one shot, or at least that’s what we’re told and, above all, what we perceive while watching Victoria. Are digital cameras the reason more directors try to make more films like this one? It’s possible,...

One of the (many) problems filmmakers must face when they reach old age is being canonized.

In some alley in San Francisco’s Chinatown, Jack Burton’s truck is parked. And the verbose, smart-ass, mainly insufferable Burton is determined to get it back, whatever the cost; or, rather, whatever it costs his (not quite) friend and expert martial artist Wang. While he’s at it,...
