The Missing Gun5 reviews
Wen Jiang, Wei Xiaoping

Sony Pictures, 2004

One of the best films ever made.....

+ Not at all what you might expect...
+ A thoughtful film

This is the first major film presented by the genius Lu Chuan. Mountain Patrol (Kekexili) is the second masterpiece of his. Like his second film, Lu Chuan has the ability to bring real, Dickens-like characters to life in a modern world of plastic people. This brings a breath of fresh air to ...

Marina Golbahari, Arif Herati

MGM (Video & DVD), 2004

If you seek to understand...

+ Taliban
+ sad but true

Like another reviewer, I cried while watching this film. I knew the premise, and suspected what the ending would hold, but watched it anyway, for the sake of understanding. This is a film which cries out to be seen by women around the world. It is beyond my comprehension that now, in 2008, after ...

IF YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT SMUGGLING DRUGS.....

+ Claire Danes' finest performance...

Lions Gate, 2001

Griping...

+ Preceded "Crash"

Movie is set on mean, crowded and polluted streets of modern Mexico City. The film explores the lives of 3 sets of characters and weaves the plot among them. "Octavio and Susana" - Octavio who lives with his Mother, his violent brother, his brother's sister and their infant in a small crowded ...
  
  











  



  
Kandahar26 reviews
Nelofer Pazira, Hassan Tantai

New Yorker Video, 2003

KANDAHAR

+ Looking Behind the Veil
+ An Alright Drama

This is more of a docudrama than a film with a plot and satisfying ending along with character development. Roger Ebert says it well: "KANDAHAR does not provide deeply drawn characters, memorable dialogue or an exciting climax. Its traffic is in images..." It is the images that stick. This was made ...
