Review of Inherent Vice (2014)

By Luke Goodsell (126) for Movie Mezzanine (782) on 03 Oct 2014

Review of Zodiac (2007)

By Luke Goodsell (126) for Empire Magazine Australasia (200) on 16 Nov 2012

Review of Curse of the Golden Flower (2006)

By Luke Goodsell (126) for Empire Magazine Australasia (200) on 16 Nov 2012

Lavish, grim, magnificent; a robust successor to Zhang's recent martial arts epics, characterised by similarly baroque spectacle and tragedy…

Review of The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys (2002)

By Luke Goodsell (126) for Empire Magazine Australasia (200) on 16 Nov 2012

Altar Boys doesn't strive to revolutionise the genre, but by playing to what it knows the film works as an appealing teenage reminiscence…

Review of Volver (2006)

By Luke Goodsell (126) for Empire Magazine Australasia (200) on 16 Nov 2012

Review of The Science of Sleep (2006)

By Luke Goodsell (126) for Empire Magazine Australasia (200) on 16 Nov 2012

More amazing work from Gondry. If you're interested in a basic narrative, look away; if you prize inventive filmmaking, don't miss it…

Review of Me and You and Everyone We Know (2005)

By Luke Goodsell (126) for Empire Magazine Australasia (200) on 07 Nov 2012
