Strange Way of Life [Extraña forma de vida] ** (2023, Ethan Hawke, Pedro Pascal, George Steane, Manu Ríos) – Classic Movie Review 12,663
Pedro Almodóvar’s Western short film Strange Way of Life is over-produced and under-realised, with a lot of expertise put into something so simple and flimsy. But Ethan Hawke and Pedro Pascal go to it with […]
Matthias et Maxime [Matthias & Maxime] **** (2019, Xavier Dolan, Gabriel D’Almeida Freitas, Harris Dickinson, Anne Dorval) – Movie Review
Gabriel D’Almeida Freitas and Xavier Dolan star as Matthias & Maxime, which finds writer-director Xavier Dolan in romantic mode, edgy, unconventional romantic mode perhaps, but definitely romantic mode. The French-Canadian film, mostly in French focuses […]
Pain and Glory [Dolor y Gloria] ***** (2019, Antonio Banderas, Penélope Cruz, Asier Etxeandia, Leonardo Sbaraglia, Cecilia Roth, Julieta Serrano, Nora Navas, César Vicente) – Movie Review

Director Derek Jarman’s 1987 British renaissance experimental film provides a furious personal broadside, using the sometimes modest means at his disposal – old home movies and Super-8, as well as disturbing scenes of crumbling inner-city […]
Wittgenstein ***½ (1993, Karl Johnson, Michael Gough, Tilda Swinton, Clancy Chassay, John Quentin) – Classic Movie Review 6495
Director Derek Jarman’s 1993 film is a lively, humorous portrait of the gay Viennese-born, Cambridge-educated philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951), one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th-century, exploring his life, works and key ideas. They […]
War Requiem **** (1989, Nathaniel Parker, Tilda Swinton, Laurence Olivier, Patricia Hayes) – Classic Movie Review 6483
Writer-director Derek Jarman’s 1989 film is a magnificent visual interpretation of Benjamin Britten’s 1962 ‘War Requiem’ and evocation of the life and death in the trenches of the World War One poet Wilfred Owen. There […]
