L'Argent (1983) |
"Bresson is not often noted for his engagement with social issues, but in fact his films consistently address the physical and spiritual effects of poverty and crime." |

La Dolce Vita (1960) |
"The girl’s gaze of hope directs towards the viewer in the film’s staggering and ambiguous final shot." |

La Jetée (1962) |
"It is an essential fiction, a short story whose diminutive length does little to foretell its breadth." |

La Silence De La Mer (1947) |
"Requisite viewing for any student of post-war French cinema." |

La Vallée (1972) |
"It is a film with a lush visual element and ambience, and with little substance." |
Rumsey Taylor |
Tomato |
Ladies of the Bois de Bologne (1944) |
"It is not, by any means, the best film made during the Occupation, but it is a key work in Bresson’s oeuvre and one that is surprisingly absorbing even today." |

Lady Vengeance (2005) |
"Like a fairy tale with fangs, Sympathy for Lady Vengeance promises pleasurable escapism, but ensnares its audience in a thorny line of questioning." |
Leo Goldsmith |
Splat |
Lake Mungo (2009) |
"The film conditions you to doubt, growing less suspenseful, less atmospheric, and less frightening as it progresses." |

Lamerica (1994) |
"The film’s intention is to put a human face on a complex situation, and while this is successful, it is the depth of the film’s characters that draws the audience’s empathy." |
Leo Goldsmith |
Tomato |
Lancelot of the Lake (1975) |
"Even with a well-known story as its backdrop, it is only upon the third or fourth viewing that one can even begin to contemplate the larger questions at work in the film." |
Matt Bailey |
Tomato |
Land of Silence and Darkness (1971) |
"One of the things that distinguishes Herzog as a director is his profound capacity for empathy. His gift enables him to get deep inside his subjects, and he is rewarded with moments of stark revelation and clarity." |

Le Cercle Rouge (1970) |
"The dialogue is spare, spans of silence run for minutes, the tense atmosphere is punctuated by unexpected eruptions of violence, and the film does not end happily for anyone." |

Le Doulos (1962) |
"Melville's complete absorption of American crime movies is on full display in Le Doulos, but the film never feels like a French version of an American movie." |
Matt Bailey |
Tomato |
Le Quai Des Brumes (1938) |
"Despite the hospitality of any character in the film, Port of Shadows is a clinical tragedy, and its characters are sentenced to suffer the instant they enter the film." |
Rumsey Taylor |
Tomato |
Le Samourai (1967) |
"Le Samouraï's narrative players are designed for easy interpretation. This fosters the plot's complication, as well as Melville's inimitably stylistic filmmaking" |
Rumsey Taylor |
Tomato |
Leave Her to Heaven (1945) |
"Though the story is involving enough to make this film a classic, it is perhaps more rightly renowned for its Technicolor cinematography and original set and costume design." |

Legong: Dance of the Virgins (1930) |
"Once the public’s interest in sideshows petered out and interest in motion pictures rose, the “Zulu” became a stock character in Hollywood comedies and adventure movies." |
Matt Bailey |
Tomato |
Lessons of Darkness/Fata Morgana (1971) |
"Exotic animals, gutted structures, rusting vehicles, orientalist tourists - each a fragment of a hazy and disassembled culture mapped onto a desert wasteland" |
Leo Goldsmith |
Tomato |
The Letter (1940) |
"If there is any doubt that Bette Davis is the star of this film, high above all others, it is vanquished by William Wyler's careful framing of her in every shot." |

A Letter to Three Wives (1949) |
"Much of what makes All About Eve such a brilliant film was used previously (and to good effect) in A Letter to Three Wives." |
