    The Delta (1996)

    " Although Sachs cannot sustain the cinematic promise of The Delta's early sequences, his moral seriousness and technical finesse merit attention."

    Bergman Island (2006)

    " Marie Nyreröd's affectionate and revealing portrait of the legendary director functions as something of a last will and testament."

    Bush's Brain (2004)

    " A modest documentary that is little more than filmed journalism and pales in comparison with more ambitious recent non-fiction films such as Fahrenheit 9/11 and The Corporation."

    " One of the most brilliant works of an unapologetically eccentric, and endlessly inventive, director."

    Arguing the World (1998)

    " Demonstrates the inherent excitement of intellectual debate, even though astute viewers will read a few books to fill in the ideological gaps."

    Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998)

    " The real stars of this film, however, are its dazzling cinematography and production design."

    Kundun (1997)

    " Often staggeringly beautiful, but the film is ultimately waylaid by a curious blend of epic stasis and strained social uplift."

    My Name is Joe (1998)

    " An uneasy mesh of character-driven privileged moments and occasionally muddled melodrama."

    Seventh Heaven (1997)

    " Instead of stressing the farcical potential of Nico's mid-life crisis, the film becomes an uninvolving melodrama which lacks dramatic tension."

    The Eel (1997)

    " An alternately poignant and funny film which transcends the limitations of its seemingly ludicrous plot."

    The Emperor's Shadow (1999)

    " Unquestionably a vigorous example of old-fashioned storytelling that compensates for its occasional clunkiness with a great deal of narrative zest."

    The End of Violence (1997)

    " The flippancy of Wenders and Nicholas Klein's script, and the lethargic performances of a star-studded cast, trivialize presumably good intentions."

    N/A

    Will It Snow for Christmas? (1996)

    " Concludes with some of the most beautifully rendered scenes in recent French cinema."
