  • Bullhead 2011

    ★★★★½ Watched 07 Apr, 2013

    Matthias Schoenaerts is compelling in the crime drama Bullhead. A powerful performance is at the centre of the film that links a childhood trauma with contemporary gangsters in rural Belgium. It's a sad and beautiful film.

  • Aelita: Queen of Mars 1924

    ★★★½ Watched 06 Apr, 2013

    An odd and beautiful film mixing melodrama and science fiction. I saw it at a screening at the Halifax Independent Filmmakers Festival where it was accompanied by a group of musicians playing and it made for a really great experience. A unique combination of different elements with some great art direction, bold editing, and an odd sense of humour.

  • Police, Adjective 2009

    ★★★★ Watched 25 Mar, 2013

    This film was fascinating to me. Slow and methodical, it slowly revealed things in a naturalistic way that began to connect together to ultimately become something moving.
    Quite wonderful how small moments can combine into a profound larger picture.

  • Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives 2011

    ★★★★½ Watched 18 Sep, 2010

    A unique and sometimes challenging film that is infused with a strange joy. With a rambling plot and beautiful images and sounds it uses the story of Uncle Boonmee as a jumping off point to mix the real and the spiritual in a meditative way that can lull you into a sense of peace and wonder. I loved experiencing this film and just relaxing and going with the flow of it.
