R.I.P. Gloria DeHaven (1925-2016)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Jul 31, 2016
I did a double take when I saw an article indicating the passings of the Classic Hollywood musical starlet Gloria DeHaven. She was 91. I could have sworn I just was thinking about her recently and I was. Just last week I came across her in a publicity still with two other young stars who I’ve read more
Elevator to the Gallows (1958)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Jul 31, 2016
“This affair like a Racine tragedy will be over in 24 hours” Elevator to the Gallows was the debut of Louis Malle, a man who found success in both his native France and the United States. In truth, it’s an easy bit of delectable icy noir to enjoy, because it goes down quite effortl read more

Late Autumn (1960)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Jul 28, 2016
Yasujiro Ozu has the esteem of being christened “The Most Japanese Filmmaker.” It’s certainly a high honor, but at first, it can feel rather counter-intuitive because after all, such a great master of cinema cannot be considered average or a composite in the scheme of Japanese film read more

Hannah and Her Sisters (1986)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Jul 26, 2016
Recently I was thinking about who I would characterize as favorite directors versus directors that I simply respect. In the latter category I would stick the likes of Quentin Tarantino, The Coen Brothers, and Wes Anderson. Because, truth be told, I do not always like or even enjoy all their films, b read more

Venus (2006)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Jul 23, 2016
“God, he was gorgeous” When the waitress looks at the image in the obituary, she’s talking about Maurice Russell, but for all intent and purposes she might as well be talking about Peter O’Toole. In some ways, they’re one in the same. He certainly was a ruggedly handsom read more

Hombre (1967)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Jul 21, 2016
“You don’t get tired, you don’t get hungry, you don’t get thirsty. Are you real?” – Jessie “More or less” – John Russell How to function within Western culture. That’s what John Russell must figure out as a man who was raised by Apache and read more

Blue Velvet (1986)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Jul 18, 2016
It’s certainly not a news flash that I often have immense troubles dealing with black, satirical comedy. I think the difficulty for me lies in the dividing line between comedy and tragedy. Oftentimes, although I’m not always fond of violence or profanity, I can make a concession if there read more

Museum Hours (2012)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Jul 16, 2016
There are few films where art and film more obviously intersect than Museum Hours. In fact, it’s director and general mastermind Jem Cohen blends the line between filmmaker and multimedia artist. His generally deliberate piece on Kunsthistorisches Museum of Art follows two figures in the vibra read more

Claire’s Knee (1970)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Jul 14, 2016
Claire’s Knee is a film made for color. Eric Rohmer’s other films up to this point had almost exclusively been black and white, but it’s as if he knew that his newest oeuvre deserved different treatment. It’s vast countrysides and glistening lakes abundant with flowers and fr read more

101 Dalmatians (1961)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Jul 12, 2016
Disney is, by now, a gargantuan media empire of parks, merchandise, and movie magic. It’s easy to forget that there were days when the studio was in desperate need of a hit. 101 Dalmatians proved to be just what the vet ordered. The film enters the story originated from the Dodie Smith novel, read more
