Review: The Island

Anatoly’s crisis never feels resolved, simply dissolving into the gauzy ether of the film’s Orthodox pageantry.

Review: Brother

Aleksei Balabanov’s matter-of-fact depiction of his protagonist’s exploits conveys the blunt harshness of post-Cold War Russia.

Review: Schizo

The film is a stark and stylistic hybrid of the Dardennes’ formal austerity and Terrence Malick’s lyricism.
