  1. 'Fill the Void' Fills the Romantic Void in the Dizzying 'Great Gatsby'

    Reuters
    May 19 (TheWrap.com) - With all the hoopla about "The Great Gatsby" as the great American love story, let me suggest that the intimate Israeli foreign film "Fill the Void" goes a longer way to presenting romance to viewers. Instead of "Gatsby's" huge...

  2. Review: 'Pieta's' vengeance tale shows capitalism's cruel side

    South Korean provocateur Kim Ki-duk's new film "Pieta," about a cold, wraith-like loan-shark enforcer in a poverty-stricken village, is expectedly gruesome in some of its details. But it's the explicitness about capitalism's emotional wreckage that gives this micro-budgeted drama a gut-punch heft.

  7. French director Olivier Assayas makes it personal in "Something in the Air"

    There is fire everywhere in Olivier Assayas’ scorching new coming-of-age drama “Something in the Air.” It is in the passions, the politics and the sex roiling through the filmmaker’s vision of 1970s-era Paris. For this is a memoir of sorts of Assayas’ youth — the forces that pulled at him and the choices that shaped who he would become. His screenplay, which won the Venice Film Festival prize last year, is so adept at moving between the mood swings of the talented and torn central character, Gilles (Clément Métayer), that you feel as much as watch. In creating a mashup of a Paris rocked by political storms and a young man in just as much turmoil, the director has given us a glimpse of an imperfect moment and an imperfect life in a slightly imperfect but wonderful film. — Betsy Sharkey.
