Late Spring (1949)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Jun 25, 2015
Late Spring is a film that I found in someways more rewarding than Tokyo Story, another acclaimed classic from Yasujiro Ozu. Both films share a few of his trademarks. They are home dramas with basic, everyday plots, termed Shomin-geki. Also exhibited are a stationary camera and low camera angles tha read more

Inside Out (2015)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Jun 24, 2015
In a generation often bloated with unoriginal ideas, Pixar has been one of the most prominent fountains of creative inspiration. Pete Docter has always been a master class storyteller (“Monster’s Inc.” and “UP”), but “Inside Out” finds him at perhaps his most innovative yet if you can read more

Donkey Skin (1970)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Jun 22, 2015
Donkey Skin takes the unique world of Jacques Demy and steps it up a couple of notches. The story is based off a fairy tale and brims with all the necessary trappings accented by the French director’s own flourishes. Once again the music is supplied by Michel Legrande and the songs are a mix o read more

Bay of Angels (1963)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Jun 20, 2015
Bay of Angels is quite different than anything else I have seen by Jacques Demy. Similar to Lola (1961) it is shot in starkly beautiful black and white and it has a kind of love story, but it lacks the music or general whimsy that often characterized Demy’s later works. This film finds its sub read more

Lola (1961)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Jun 18, 2015
As the debut of Jacques Demy, Lola has some qualities that, for lack of a better term, are very un-Demy. First off, he was a member of the French New Wave period of filmmakers and yet he resigned himself to making mostly musicals, taking inspiration from Hollywood and setting them in his own unique read more

Point Blank (1967)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Jun 16, 2015
John Boorman and Lee Marvin came together as equal parts in this venture called Point Blank and it’s quite something. You can call it neo-noir, you can call it a revenge story, a crime film, but nothing quite sums up what you end up with. It’s a brutal, stark, psychedelic trip at times t read more

The Killers (1946) – Updated
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Jun 14, 2015
It’s been said that Robert Siodmak’s The Killers was Ernest Hemingway’s favorite adaptation of one of his works which was, in this case, a short story. As a film-noir, it works on numerous levels from the cinematography, to the score, to the young stars, to the ingenious narrative. read more

Brute Force (1947)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Jun 12, 2015
Potentially one of the weaker Jules Dassin films noir, Brute Force is still a worthwhile film exploring the dynamics of a prison during the 1940s. The inspiration comes from the rebellion at Alcatraz in 1946 and this film was shocking at the time for the amount of violence it portrayed. It stars Bur read more

The Big Sleep (1946) – Updated
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Jun 9, 2015
Philip Marlowe is undoubtedly Raymond Chandler’s character, but Howard Hawks and Humphrey Bogart brought him right out of a pulp novel and stuck him on the silver screen to ever be solidified in our minds. Needless to say, this is a quintessential film-noir coming right at the tail end of WWI read more
