Review of Inland Empire (2006)

By Boyd Van Hoeij (303) for european-films.net (103) on 07 Sep 2006

Some die-hard fans will no doubt like it, but most likely INLAND EMPIRE (yes - all capitals) will only be remembered as the second orthographically…

Review of Children of Men (2006)

By Boyd Van Hoeij (303) for european-films.net (103) on 03 Sep 2006

An ugly mix of contemporary issues is hacked to unrecognizable bits in this tame, at times insipid thriller trying to impress with impossibly…

Review of The Queen (2006)

By Boyd Van Hoeij (303) for european-films.net (103) on 03 Sep 2006

Secondary characters are caricatures and there are moments of symbolism that are too heavy-handed, though on the whole The Queen is dignified…

Review of Infamous (2006)

By Boyd Van Hoeij (303) for european-films.net (103) on 02 Sep 2006

An explosively rich evocation of a twisted (or at least unhealthy) relationship. Capote would have probably called it suffering for his art…

Review of The Black Dahlia (2006)

By Boyd Van Hoeij (303) for european-films.net (103) on 02 Sep 2006

The real case of the Black Dahlia was never solved, and watching this film we understand why: the story is just way too complicated…

Review of Ryna (2006)

By Boyd Van Hoeij (303) for european-films.net (103) on 24 Aug 2006

The first approach to the main character is a piece of virtuoso filmmaking (...) but the film does not maintain this wedding of thematic coherence…

Review of Brothers of the Head (2006)

By Boyd Van Hoeij (303) for european-films.net (103) on 29 Jul 2006

Is appropriately moody and gets the music right, but becomes as incoherent and messy as the lives of the protagonists in the film's second half…

Review of 12:08 East of Bucharest (2006)

By Boyd Van Hoeij (303) for european-films.net (103) on 14 Jul 2006

The introductory half hour feels overly protracted, but the comedy works perfectly, mainly because of the excellent direction of the actors…

Review of Taxidermia (2006)

By Boyd Van Hoeij (303) for european-films.net (103) on 12 Jul 2006

[P]ulls out all the stops in a vicious attack on the senses that leaves no ugly truth about mankind unsaid -- nor unseen…

Review of Volver (2006)

By Boyd Van Hoeij (303) for european-films.net (103) on 22 May 2006

Cruz has never been better or looked lovelier. The same could be said of Almodovar (well, at least the talent part)…

Review of Container (2006)

By Boyd Van Hoeij (303) for european-films.net (103) on 24 Apr 2006

Moodysson definitely created something haunting; imperfect and nonsensical as it may be at times. Is it pretentious? You bet…

Review of Comedy of Power (2006)

By Boyd Van Hoeij (303) for european-films.net (103) on 24 Apr 2006

[A] film that delivers quite a few chuckles but generally is very tame; all the characters never really leap off the screen and into your heart…

Review of The Elementary Particles (2006)

By Boyd Van Hoeij (303) for european-films.net (103) on 18 Apr 2006

I want your (sanitized) sex -- and a happy ending…

Review of The 4th Floor (2003)

By Boyd Van Hoeij (303) for european-films.net (103) on 03 Apr 2006

Juan José Ballesta, though born in 1987, could teach Bardem a thing or two about acting…

Review of Eleven Men Out (2005)

By Boyd Van Hoeij (303) for european-films.net (103) on 21 Feb 2006

The film might be trying to push boundaries in terms of male nudity, but no amount of penises can save this wannabe comedy that is just not funny…

Review of Something Like Happiness (2005)

By Boyd Van Hoeij (303) for european-films.net (103) on 08 Feb 2006

The [entwined] stories have been purged of cinematic trappings to the extent that they have almost become too mundane to really captivate or…

Review of A Good Woman (2004)

By Boyd Van Hoeij (303) for european-films.net (103) on 20 Dec 2005

Opaque in its approach, the film is almost redeemed by its hilarious Wildean one-liners, even if delivered shakily…
