Black Girl (1966)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Oct 29, 2017
What’s fascinating about this film is how it manages to give voice to those who are normally silenced and even in her subservience this narrative powerfully lends agency to a young Senegalese woman’s perspective. Because even when she is silent and words are not coming out of her mouth read more

Monsieur Verdoux (1947)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Oct 26, 2017
Prior to the making and release of Monsieur Verdoux Charlie Chaplin had undoubtedly hit the most turbulent patch in his historic career and not even he could come out of scandal and political upheaval unscathed.

4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Oct 23, 2017
The glamour of limelight, from which age must pass as youth centers A story of a ballerina and a clown… In Limelight it quickly becomes evident that Charles Chaplin was well aware of his own legend and how couldn’t he be? For years he had been held in the highest regards, loved by the read more

That Man from Rio (1964)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Oct 20, 2017
That Man from Rio is a find. It’s a dazzling picture that’s as comedic as it is entertaining bursting with a Brazilian energy that brings to mind the Bossa Nova rhythms of Sergio Mendes somehow married with the world of James Bond. And it’s true, there’s without question a m read more

The Soft Skin (1964)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Oct 17, 2017
There might be an initial predilection to call The Soft Skin Francois Truffaut’s most conventional film to date, but for me, it shows at this fairly early point in his career he seems to have grasped the main tenets of traditional filmmaking. Because his first films are full of life, energy, read more

Review: A Streetcar Named Desire (1951)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Oct 14, 2017
Blanche Dubois and Stanley Kowalski. They’re both so iconic not simply in the lore of cinema history but literature and American culture in general. It’s difficult to know exactly what to do with them. Stanley Kowalski the archetypical chauvinistic beast. Driven by anger, prone to abuse, read more

Cat People (1942)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Oct 12, 2017
Cat People has one of those sensationalized B-picture premises and there are moments when its meager aspects let slip that this is a low-budget effort, but within those restrictions, it moves with a certain purpose and chilliness. It’s true that producer Val Lewton had a B-movie renaissance go read more

Thelma & Louise (1991)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Oct 9, 2017
Themla & Louise hardly feels like typical Ridley Scott fare but then again, neither is this a typical movie. It pulls from numerous genres that have been depicted countless times before from buddy movies to caper comedies, road films, and the like. But perhaps the intrigue begins with the two le read more

Hoosiers (1986)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Oct 6, 2017
The last time I saw Hoosiers it was on VHS and I was only a boy and I hardly remember anything. Gene Hackman yelling. Dennis Hopper as a drunk. Jimmy the boy wonder, “The Picket Fence”, and of course Indiana basketball at its finest. But in those opening moments, as he drives into town a read more
