Pre-2020 Film Reviews
The Great Train Robbery (1978)
- Excerpt: The Great Train Robbery is a period piece in the obvious sense of portraying a different historical time than the one in which it was made, but it also qualifies as a textbook example of a particular approach to filmmaking that feels old-fashioned even for 1978.
Empire M (1972)
Michael Barrett @ metafilm.ovid.tv
- Excerpt: Egypt submitted it for Academy Awards consideration in 1974 but it didn’t make the foreign nominee list. Fifty years later, it still fascinates, both for how of its time it is and how it resonates today.
Midnight in Paris (2011)
Paths to Paradise, You’d Be Surprised (1925, 1926)
