It’s time for the Stockholm Film Festival, the time of year when I get to load up on a pile of new movies. The film festival always has some remarkably great films both local and international and pulls some great directors over.
Movies
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Martin | November 11th, 2011
Quite possibly one of the most anticipated movies of the year, the big budget blockbuster, Hollywood version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
Anna Juliana Kletzmayr is a disturbing actress

NAKED instantly
Callan | August 26th, 2011
Recently, mysterious personality/avant-bass musician ZOMBY mentioned in a rare interview for Self-Titled Magazine that he really likes the dark psychological vision of UK director Mike Leigh, specifically the film NAKED. Read More
Melancholy for the film industry
Callan | July 28th, 2011
The only movie that seems interesting coming out other than Harry Potter, which is like the best series of movies ever, is Lars Von Trier’s Melancholia. Read More

Miami is already a city with a bizarre, disjointed sense of place, where often surfaces and surroundings seem not quite real. Thanks to some movie magic, that sense is currently even more heightened in the club district around NE Fourteenth Street in downtown Miami. For the past month or so, South Florida has been the filming site for the upcoming Tom Cruise movie Rock of Ages. Read More
PJ Harvey’s Cinematic Epic Finally Hits Screens
Kuma | July 26th, 2011
There are many idiosyncratic icon types in the cannon of British rock and roll. It breed crazy, but none quite so special as one Polly Jean Harvey.
Woody Allen Gems
Lee | July 25th, 2011
Woody Allen and Mia Farrow in Shadows and Fog
Early Woody Allen, or even mid-career Woody Allen, ok anything before 1995, is gold. He’s cliched, he’s predictable, but lord knows I will probably never tire of his awkward, self-deprecating characters in their convoluted love triangles. Everybody loves Annie Hall and Manhattan, and those films are infinitely watchable. There is no telling how many times I will see Annie Hall in this life time. But there are so many dusty gems that just don’t get the appreciation they deserve.
The World Belongs to Daddy
Guillaume | July 24th, 2011
French film director Alain Cavalier was born not far from my own birthplace, in Loir-et-Cher (center of France). I don’t know if it’s the reason why I feel connected to him, even if I have only seen a few of his films. His last movie Pater was acclaimed by the critics at Festival de Cannes, and it’s well deserved. Read More
Capturing the family
Dori | July 24th, 2011
Capturing the Friedmans is a documentary film I’ve recently watched. It focuses on the 80′s investigation of Arnold and Jesse Friedman for child molestation. But it’s not only a story about two pedophiles… Read More
Absurd Poetry
Guillaume | July 22nd, 2011
Last week Miranda July attended the Parisian premiere of her new film The Future at Le Nouvel Odeon Theater. It’s funny how she can look very focused and lost in her own world at the same time, as if she was far away and at the same time willing to explain who she is, what she does, and making things easier for the journalists. Read More
Road movie
Igor | July 22nd, 2011
‘Target’ is one of the most impressive movies I’ve seen since Gaspar Noe’s ‘Enter the Void’. The film was produced together by a director Alexander Zeldovich and a popular Russian writer Vladimir Sorokin Read More
Movies for “Adults”
Dicky | July 21st, 2011
Woody Allen is one of these people who, just when I’ve forgotten about him, I realize that he has somehow released several new films without my having noticed. Read More
The Dark Knight Rises
Julian | July 21st, 2011
I am an extremely proud Christopher Nolan fan boy. If his next movie is about him directing a film about watching paint dry, I would be there opening day. Read More
“You have nothing against youth, do you ?”
Guillaume | July 20th, 2011
June 24 and Saturday June 25, L’Autre Ciné-Club de la Cinémathèque Française presented the first edition of its festival Vous n’avez rien contre la jeunesse?
