Pre-2024 Film Reviews
The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz (1974)
- Excerpt: Watching it is a real “no hugs, no lessons” experience and it beat Seinfeld to that approach by about two decades.
Mouchette (1967)
Sean Axmaker @ Stream On Demand
- Excerpt: There’s no sentimentality in [Robert] Bresson’s portrait of village life but, for a few brief moments the film explodes in energy and emotion.
Nightfall (1956)
Sean Axmaker @ Stream On Demand
- Excerpt: Crisply directed, scripted with gems of hardboiled lines (“You’re asking for it” / “I’m in an asking position”) and superbly paced, it’s a film of darkness and light.
Through the Olive Trees (1994)
- Excerpt: Kiarostami has said he saw his job as making half of a movie, leaving the audience to create the other half.
