Marriage Italian Style (1964)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Feb 26, 2015
I had never seen any of De Sica’s later work and with the quintessential pairing of Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni this seemed like a perfect place to start the journey. The character Domenico is easy to dislike from the beginning because he constantly floats in and out of the life of t read more
Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow (1963)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Feb 24, 2015
This is the lightest of any De Sica film I had seen up until this point and interestingly enough it was split up into three narratives. The first one follows a woman who continually gets pregnant in order to avoid going to jail, but after seven kids, the toll is too much on her jaded husband. Needle read more
Selma (2014)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Feb 24, 2015
Martin Luther King’s legacy will always be the “I Have a Dream” Speech. It’s a crowning moment in history with iconic images and soaring rhetoric. But Doctor King was far more than that. He was a minister, a social activist, and a champion of equality, justice, and peace. Sel read more

Whiplash (2014)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Feb 22, 2015
If ever there was the Devil’s incarnate, it isn’t Terrence Fletcher (J.K. Simmons), he’s probably meaner and harder to nail down. In the world of musicians there is no school more prestigious than Shaffer Conservatory in New York and that’s where young drumming prodigy Andrew read more
Birdman (2014)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Feb 22, 2015
In the opening shot a man is in his tidy-whities levitating in midair. This is one of those films that can never be figured out completely or never fully dissected in its entirety. It’s a meta film on a whole lot of levels. You could say that Michael Keaton is playing a version of himself name read more

The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Feb 18, 2015
It is hard to remember a time when I was so devastatingly sad due to a film, and it does not leave a deep hurt but a more wistful despondency that is far more real. However, that’s enough misery for the time being. Directed by Jacques Demy and starring a exquisitely young Catherine Deneuve, read more

Playtime (1967) – Updated
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Feb 14, 2015
Playtime is a film that really can be broken into a number of set pieces elaborately constructed by director Jacques Tati. The vignettes begin, surprisingly enough, in an airport terminal, and a group of excited Americans are getting ready for a Parisian vacation. Mr. Hulot (Tati hmself) is waiting read more
