Review of Ran (1985)

By Lillian Vallee (1) for The New York Review of Books (223) on 11 Aug 2018

Kurosawa's greatness lies in his capacity to reveal historical similarity and variance; to find a Shakespearean sense of doom in the other,…

Review of Dawson City: Frozen Time (2017)

By Deborah Eisenberg (1) for The New York Review of Books (223) on 25 Jul 2018

The film is transfixing, an utterly singular compound of the bizarre, the richly informative, the thrilling, the horrifying, the goofy, the…

Review of Sorry to Bother You (2018)

By Namwali Serpell (4) for The New York Review of Books (223) on 22 Jul 2018

Indeed, smuggled inside Riley's rollicking mashup of surrealism and sci-fi is a cutting critique of race and class…

Review of Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters (1985)

By Ian Buruma (13) for The New York Review of Books (223) on 17 Jun 2018

If one cannot seriously address the sexuality of a man who was so obviously obsessed and driven by sex, then why bother making a film of his…

Review of Paris, Texas (1984)

By Robert Mazzocco (10) for The New York Review of Books (223) on 17 Jun 2018

Though Paris, Texas is the most interesting American film I've seen all year, it is finally not a success…

Review of Shoah (1985)

By Timothy Garton Ash (2) for The New York Review of Books (223) on 17 Jun 2018

No other film that I have seen about the subject has haunted me as Shoah does: images and voices returning, un-asked and, so to speak, unwanted,…

Review of Amadeus (1984)

By Robert Craft (1) for The New York Review of Books (223) on 17 Jun 2018

The unkindest cuts of all are inflicted on the music. It bleeds at every splice, welling up, fading out, left suspended in mid-phrase…

Review of A Passage to India (1984)

By Noel Annan (2) for The New York Review of Books (223) on 14 Jun 2018

The spirit of the book has vanished and its strange music cannot be heard. The movie is lovely but earthbound…

Review of Danton (1983)

By Robert Darnton (1) for The New York Review of Books (223) on 14 Jun 2018

It adds up to an overwhelming indictment of government oppression…

Review of Black Panther (2018)

By Anna Deavere Smith (1) for The New York Review of Books (223) on 15 May 2018

Without the technological accomplishments in film that predate Black Panther, its captivating beauty, breathtaking views, and edge-of-your-seat…

Review of Seven Beauties (1975)

By Michael Wood (11) for The New York Review of Books (223) on 03 Apr 2018

Although the transitions between times and perspectives and places are exciting and beautifully done, they are really transitions from nowhere…

Review of Harold and Maude (1971)

By Robert Mazzocco (10) for The New York Review of Books (223) on 03 Apr 2018

A philosophical black comedy for grandparents and grandchildren, or what Walt Disney and Lucille Ball might have thought up if they'd taken…

Review of Ciao! Manhattan (1973)

By Robert Mazzocco (10) for The New York Review of Books (223) on 03 Apr 2018

Alternately garrulous, sparse, naïve, sardonic, clumsy, clever, intolerably sad, rawly funny…

Review of Family Plot (1976)

By Michael Wood (11) for The New York Review of Books (223) on 03 Apr 2018

The best movie Hitchcock has made since North by Northwest…

Review of Prince of the City (1981)

By Murray Kempton (3) for The New York Review of Books (223) on 03 Apr 2018

A model instance of the movie that insists on being a film and proceeds inevitably to assault our common sense with the counterfeit of a moral lesson…

Review of That Obscure Object of Desire (1977)

By Michael Wood (11) for The New York Review of Books (223) on 03 Apr 2018

Buñuel...offers neither nostalgia nor wisdom, but an engaging practical example of the art of accepting defeat without learning to expect it…

Review of Apocalypse Now (1979)

By Michael Wood (11) for The New York Review of Books (223) on 03 Apr 2018

The film holds together well enough until it reaches its final muddle, and it has scenes and moments unequaled in recent European or American movies…

Review of Barry Lyndon (1975)

By Michael Wood (11) for The New York Review of Books (223) on 03 Apr 2018

It just hangs there on the screen for three hours, a monument to Kubrick's patience and pedantry and rather laborious good taste, but signifying…

Review of Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)

By Martin Gardner (1) for The New York Review of Books (223) on 03 Apr 2018

Alas, beneath the visual hanky-panky stretches a thin, hackneyed plot that was done to death in the SF magazines and third-rate films of the Fifties…

Review of Nashville (1975)

By Robert Mazzocco (10) for The New York Review of Books (223) on 03 Apr 2018

Since the protagonists are mostly the performers themselves, and since, by and large, they seemed to me to be nothing but slick hillbilly narcissists,…
