  Rising Sun 1993

  

  Filipe Furtado ★★½

  In some ways, it is amusing that Philip Kaufman follow up two fake art movies with Rising Sun which is the definition of an early 90s potboiler. It is far…

  The Only Game in Town 1970

  

  Filipe Furtado ★★★

  The Long Goodbye 1973

  

  Filipe Furtado ★★★★★
