Leave it to Godard to re-invent sci-fi moviemaking with a New Wave budget, stealing images of modern Paris to throw us into a pop dystopian future. An ingenious mix of futurism, detective noir, and romance, with, of course, Anna Karina along with the indomitable Eddie Constantine as “Lemmy Caution”.
This early triumph by Lars von Trier, which won no less than three prizes at Cannes, is one of his most bizarre yet accessible works: a feverish retooling of film noir, an unhinged thriller, and a visually mind-blowing odyssey into a nightmare of our past.
It’s all eyes on the striking actor (and costume designer!) Tabea Blumenschein in this spectacular bar crawl. Dizzying with wit and style, she and director Ulrike Ottinger ignore those who might deem boozing unfeminine—for these two, catwalking through the streets while sozzled can be raucous fun.
Icons of cinema Delphine Seyrig and Magdalena Montezuma star in this wildly loose and freaky Virginia Woolf adaptation. Twirling visions of new, decadent glamor from worshipping rituals, sex, and commerce, director Ulrike Ottinger frolics in Orlando’s transhistorical sprawl with outrageous glee.
