L'Atalante (1934) |
"A major inspiration to subsequent generations of filmmakers, yet no one has ever succeeded in matching it." |
Jonathan Rosenbaum |
Tomato |
L'Avventura (1960) |
"It's a work that requires some patience -- a 145-minute mystery that strategically elides any conventional denouement -- but more than amply repays the effort." |

La Belle Noiseuse (1991) |
"Rivette's superb sense of rhythm and mise en scene never falters, and the plot has plenty of twists." |
Jonathan Rosenbaum |
Tomato |
La Bête Humaine (1938) |
"Jean Renoir's generous sensibility seems at odds with the sterile determinism of the Zola novel on which this 1938 film was based." |

La Bonne Anne (1973) |
"More baloney from Claude Lelouch." |

La Brune et Moi (1980) |
"Pierre Clementi, best known as Catherine Deneuve's badass lover in Belle de Jour, provides some amusement as the business manager of punk manque Anoushka, but the movie makes Liquid Sky seem like a masterpiece." |

La Collectionneuse (1971) |
"Rohmer's impossibly light, graceful way of posing profound moral questions hasn't yet wholly coalesced, though this 1966 film does have his soft, slow rhythm." |

La Dolce Vita (1960) |
"The film was hugely successful and widely praised in its time, though it's really nothing more than the old C.B. De Mille formula of titillation and moralizing." |

"Fascinating (but not wholly successful)." |

La Moustache (2005) |
"This narrative feature debut by Emmanuel Carrere, based on his own novel, is deliberately open-ended, but however one interprets the outcome, the film reminds us how fragile intimacy is." |

Ladies of the Bois de Bologne (1944) |
"Like much (if not all) of Bresson's best work, it can't be assimilated to realist criteria, but it's unforgettable for its fire-and-ice evocations of tragedy in an unlikely setting." |

Ladron que Roba a Ladron (To Rob a Thief) (2007) |

Lady and the Tramp (1955) |
"Disney's imagination seems at a low ebb, saddled with a shrunken, excessively naturalistic style in line with the diminished possibilities of postwar animation, and not yet graced by the inspiration that would redeem that style in Sleeping Beauty." |

Lady Chatterley (2006) |
"Ferran's sureness in charting every step in the couple's discovery of each other never falters; when they eventually find the opportunity to remove their clothes before having sex, it's a major achievement, and celebrated as such." |
Jonathan Rosenbaum |

The Lady Eve (1941) |

Lady in the Water (2006) |
"It's hard to think of a deadlier shotgun marriage than Jacques Tourneur's poetry of absence and Spielbergian uplift, but Shyamalan has patented the combo, adding pretentious camera movements that are peculiarly his own -- even the jokes are pretty solemn." |
