    Beau Travail

    BEAU TRAVAIL looks incredible, creates an engrossing atmosphere, and functions on both a narrative and political level, but above all I respect it for sticking to a Tight 90 runtime. Denis Lavant has such a great movie face, and his character being at least 4 inches shorter than his subordinates works well for the core psychosexual conflict driving the plot (such as there is in a movie like this).

  • Crimson Tide

    Crimson Tide

    The Kumbaya ending is kinda deflating and the character conflict is far more plot-derived than ideologically substantial, but the juice CRIMSON TIDE has is undeniable. Denzel Washington elevates mid-budget thrillers with his performances the same way Peter Cushing did all the Hammer creature features. The restraint he conveys pairs so well with Hackman's eruptions

    Sólo con tu pareja

    Whereas Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN is a non-horny movie about being horny, this is an extremely horny movie about being horny. That's what I call range!
