Review: Il Divo

Il Divo treats the scandal that brought down Italian Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti with acerbic bemusement.

Review: Roman de Gare

This is a diverting but cool suspense puzzler whose payoff proves to be smaller and more mundane than its twisty, fluid setup.

Review: Mélo

At first coming off as a step backward for Resnais, the theatricality of Mélo becomes a different sort of experimentalism.

Review: Nathalie…

It presents a portrait of marriage, adultery, and sex that makes about as much sense as the confounding ellipses in its title.

Review: Callas Forever

Like Luchino Visconti, Franco Zeffirelli identifies with women, but he doesn’t know how to tap into their souls, only their clothes.

Review: 8 Women

François Ozon’s compositions suggest a man schooled on Sirk, yet there’s no real relationship between the film’s eight women and their surroundings.
