Pre-2020 Film Reviews
Cypher (2002)
Mark Leeper @ Mark Leeper’s Reviews
- Excerpt: Vincenzo Natali’s follow-up to the 1996 CUBE is in nearly all ways a science fiction outing superior to his previous film. Brian King’s screenplay make this a fast paced science fiction adventure very much of the style of Philip K. Dick.
The Red and the White (1967)
Gregory J. Smalley @ 366 Weird Movies
- Excerpt: Due to the lack of an identifiable protagonist, our sympathies are drawn to the innocent pawns in these power games as a group: local farmers, a band of nurses who tend the injured of either side, and the poor conscripts and Hungarian volunteers, who are constantly being captured and liberated in an endless reshuffling of pieces. The Reds play the same cards as the Whites, and Jancsó’s vision conveys an implicit message of ‘meet the new boss, same as the old boss’ that could not have been pleasing to Soviet authorities.
