“If I had not passed through trial - through passion, one could say - through these years so painful and so rich, I don't believe I could take on my life and my career as I do today.”

    QUARTET

    JAMES IVORY France, 1981

    Starring Isabelle Adjani in a four-way love affair, Merchant-Ivory’s impeccable adaptation invokes the sordid glamor of Jean Rhys’s eponymous novel. Waltzing through cozy cafés and sexy nightclubs, Quartet dines on the bohemian hedonism of 1920s Paris while exposing the callousness of the idle rich.

    ISHTAR

    ELAINE MAY United States, 1987

    A legendary flop that ended the career of its director, Elaine May’s screwball bromance has been reevaluated and reclaimed as the great, delightfully disjointed comedy that it is. May’s few films were routinely treated poorly by their studios—but her brilliance has weathered those weak doubts.
