AMATEUR
****½
USA
A former nun helps an amnesiac criminal find out about his past.
   Brilliant deadpan black comedy - or a tongue-in-cheek thriller - with hilariously improbable characters and situations.
wr/dir: Hal Hartley
cast: Isabelle Huppert, Martin Donovan, Elina Löwensohn, Damian Young, Pamela Stewart, David Simmonds, Chuck Montgomery, Parker Posey

BEFORE THE RAIN
****
Macedonia/France/UK
Three interconnected stories involving a young Macedonian monk helping an Albanian girl, a London woman going through various crises, and a disillusioned photographer returning to his native Macedonia.
   A complex, ambitious condemnation of Balkan mentality, presented in a symbolic circular structure, with violence breeding violence, endlessly. The connection between the three stories becomes apparent only in the final moments, which is also when the film lets loose its emotional impact.
wr/dir: Milcho Manchevski
cast: Rade Serbedzija, Katrin Cartlidge, Gregoire Colin, Labina Mitevska

BULLETS OVER BROADWAY
****
USA
In 1920s New York, an untalented gangster's moll is hired as the star in order to get backing for a play.
   A witty, delightful backstage comedy, which finds several talented actors in great shape.
dir: Woody Allen
wr: Woody Allen, Douglas McGrath
ph: Carlo Di Palma
pd: Santo Loquasto
cast: John Cusack, Jack Warden, Chazz Palmintieri, Jennifer Tilly, Joe Viterelli, Rob Reiner, Mary-Louise Parker, Dianne Wiest, Harvey Fierstein, Jim Broadbent, Tracey Ullman

BURNT BY THE SUN
***
France/Russia
In rural Stalinist Russia of the mid-30s, an aging hero of the Bolshevik revolution is threatened by the return of his wife's former lover, now a government agent.
   A complex tragedy that takes so long to get to where it's going it ultimately doesn't feel worth two and a half hours.
dir: Nikita Mikhalkov
cast: Nikita Mikhalkov, Oleg Menchikov, Ingeborga Dapkunaité, Nadya Mikhalkov

CHUNGKING EXPRESS
****½
Hong Kong
Overwhelmed by a turgid, gargantuan costume soap opera he'd been commissioned to direct, Wong Kar-wai decided to take a break and in his down-time came up with this Godard-inflected breath of fresh gorgeousness.
   It has two strands: one where a young, lonely and very pretty policeman grows infatuated with a shady drug-dealing femme fatale with a funny wig; and another one where a fast-food waitress, played by the entrancing Faye Wong in her big-screen debut, grows infatuated with a second young, lonely and very pretty cop, Tony Leung (before his international exposure). The connection between the two strands is in feeling more than narrative. The first tale is fresh, lovely and very seductive as it sets up the loose, gaudy visual style and the shivery, jump-cut-happy dynamic. But it's the second chapter that packs most of the film's resonance as it reaches its achingly, intoxicatingly romantic finale and shifts the focus from from hazy, unfulfilled, vaguely longing ciphers onto breathing, burning, intensely huggable people.
wr/dir: Wong Kar-Wai
ph: Christopher Doyle
cast: Tony Leung, Faye Wong, Brigitte Lin, Takeshi Kineshiro, Valerie Chow, 'Piggy' Chan

CLERKS
***½
USA
24 hours in the life of a New Jersey convenience store clerk.
   This one aroused the hopes of every amateur filmmaker. A witty, uncomplicated comedy with maximum swearing and minimum budget, it has carried its moderately talented director to bigger and occasionally even better things.
wr/dir: Kevin Smith
cast: Brian O'Halloran, Jeff Anderson, Marilyn Ghigliotti, Jason Mewes, Kevin Smith

THE CLIENT
***
USA
A light, entertaining thriller that miraculously overcomes the evil of John Grisham and Joel Schumacher combined, chiefly through the plucky charm of its leading lady.
dir: Joel Schumacher
cast: Susan Sarandon, Brad Renfro, Tommy Lee Jones, Mary-Louise Parker, Anthony LaPaglia, J.T. Walsh, Anthony Edwards

DEAR DIARY
****½
Italy/France
A filmed diary in three parts, involving riding through Rome on a Vespa, island-hopping in Southern Italy and a cancer treatment.
   A clever, charming autobiographical road trip. Though the writer-director is also the star, the film is strangely not self-indulgent.
wr/dir: Nanni Moretti
cast: Nanni Moretti

ED WOOD
****½
USA
The life of Edward D. Wood, Jr.
   A warm, nostalgic, hilarious look at the man widely cited as the worst director of all time. Tenderly crafted and deceptively moving, it's marked by great warmth and humanity.
dir: Tim Burton
wr: Scott Alexander, Larry Karaszewsky
ph: Stefan Czapsky
m: Howard Shore
pd: Tom Duffield
cast: Johnny Depp, Martin Landau, Sarah Jessica Parker, Patricia Arquette, Vincent D'Onofrio, Bill Murray, Lisa Murray

ERMO
****
Hong Kong/China
A worker woman is determined to buy a TV set bigger than their neighbours'.
   A black, biting, brilliant comedy. Absorbing and rich in detail, it damns consumerism and paints a vivid portrait of rural life in China.
dir: Zhou Xiaowen
wr: Lang Yun
cast: Ailiya, Liu Peiqi, Ge Zhijun, Zhang haiyan, Zan Zhenguo

EXOTICA
****
Canada
Five disparate people are brought together in a seamy strip-club.
   Complex, intriguing drama revolving around sex, voyeurism and poignant coincidence. Layer by layer, it unfolds patiently and enigmatically and in time reveals a hefty emotional punch.
wr/dir: Atom Egoyan
ph: Paul Sarossy
ed: Susan Shipton
m: Mychael Danna
cast: Bruce Greenwood, Elias Koteas, Don McKellar, Mia Kirshner, Arsinée Kanijan, Sarah Polley

FORREST GUMP
***
USA
Dumb kid grows up to become a football star, a Vietnam hero and ping pong champion, among other things.
   A simple-minded, sugar-coated and cuddly tale of an unlikely but lovable hero. It cautiously creeps past every chance for satire or insight, but it entertains along the way.
dir: Robert Zemeckis
cast: Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, Gary Sinise, Sally Field

FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL
***½
UK
A London bachelor falls in love with a woman he meets at a friend's wedding.
   The first of many financially successful 1990s British romantic comedies. A lot of the jokes are as predictable as the romance, but there's an unaffected air to it that comes as a welcome relief to those used to American versions of this sort of thing.
dir: Mike Newell
cast: Hugh Grant, Andie MacDowell, Kristin Scott Thomas, Simon Callow, James Flett, David Bower, Charlotte Coleman

FUN
**
USA
Two maladjusted teenage girls commit a murder for fun.
   Talented actors waste away under sensationalist, exploitative direction.
dir: Rafal Zielinski
cast: Alicia Witt, Renée Humphrey, Leslie Hope, William R. Moses, Ania Suli

GUARDING TESS
***
USA
A dull, half-assedly quirky dramedy, though Shirley MacLaine is excellent as the First Lady.

HEAVENLY CREATURES
***½
New Zealand
Two teenage girls in New Zealand develop an obsessive relationship and decide to murder one of the girls' mothers so as not to be separated.
   A dark and chilling account of a real-life tragedy. The direction is quite inventive, though it tends to get lost in its own cleverness and visual trickery. It was Peter Jackson's first Serious achievement and Kate Winslet's first big role.
dir: Peter Jackson
wr: Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh
cast: Melanie Lynskey, Kate Winslet, Sarah Pierse, Diana Kent, Clive Merrison, Simon O'Connor, Jed Brophy

HOOP DREAMS
***
USA
A much praised documentary on matters of the American Dream, it follows the basketball careers of two kids from their humble inner-city Chicago beginnings to stardom. The impact would have likely been stronger though if the makers discarded an hour's worth of footage.

THE HUDSUCKER PROXY
****½
USA
In the 50s, scheming executives make a gullible country boy the president of a major corporation and an unwitting pawn.
   The Coens' most criminally underappreciated effort. An eccentric, elaborate, warm and beautifully crafted fantasy/homage to screwball comedies from  Hollywood's Golden Age.
dir: Joel Coen
wr: Ethan Coen, Joel Coen, Sam Raimi
ph: Roger Deakins
ed: Joel Coen, Ethan Coen
m: Carter Burwell
pd: Dennis Gassner
cast: Tim Robbins, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Paul Newman, Charles Durning

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE: THE VAMPIRE CHRONICLES
***½
USA
A vampire reminisces about his life over the past 200 years.
   A moody, elegant adaptation of a cult novel, which would have worked better if the casting wasn't so box-office-oriented.
dir: Neil Jordan
wr: Anne Rice
ph: Philippe Rousselot
pd: Dante Ferretti
cast: Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Kirsten Dunst, Christian Slater, Stephen Rea, Antonio Banderas

THE LAST SEDUCTION
***½
USA
A manipulative New York woman runs off with her husband's drug money.
   A smart, suspenseful neo-noir about a memorably fatale femme.
dir: John Dahl
wr: Steve Barancik
cast: Linda Fiorentino, Peter Berg, J.T. Walsh, Bill Nunn, Bill Pullman

LEGEND OF THE DRUNKEN MASTER
***
A sequel to "Drunken Master" (1978) and consequently known in many places simply as "Drunken Master 2". The fight scenes are terrific, but the bits in between are near unendurable (ranging from cheap, contrived comedy to overwrought, slow-motion pathos).
   But the fight scenes are terrific.
dir: Liu Chia-Liang, Jackie Chan
cast: Jackie Chan, Lung Ti, Anita Mui, Felix Wong, Liu Chia-Liang, Ken Lo

LEON
****
France/USA
A professional hitman protects a 12-year-old girl, whose family is murdered by a corrupt cop.
   A violent, tense exercise in style masquerading as a character study. Much of its considerable emotional impact stems from a precocious 12-year-old future star.
wr/dir: Luc Besson
cast: Jean Reno, Nathalie Portman, Gary Oldman, Danny Aiello

THE LION KING
***½
USA
A lion cub is sent into exile by his scheming uncle, but demands justice when he grows up.
   Amid breathtaking animation and some striking sequences, them Disney folks still find room for plenty of sugar. Like "Beauty and the Beast" (1991) though, it's much more grown-up in tone than previous Disney cartoon features. There's a lot of death and near-death.
dir: Roger Allers, Robert Minkoff
voices of: Matthew Broderick, Rowan Atkinson, Niketa Calame, Jim Cummings, Whoopi Goldberg, Jeremy Irons, James Earl Jones, Jonathan Taylor Thomas

LITTLE WOMEN
**½
USA
Four sisters mature under the loving guidance of their wise mother in a poor New England household during the Civil War.
   A loudly feminist re-telling of the familiar, insufferably sentimental tale. The exaggerated crises of these women remain largely trivial, but Gillian Armstrong and her esteemed cast embrace these trivialities as if they were high drama. A lot of the picture wastes away as they hammer down the perfectly obvious double standards of the day, while every hint of truth to the characters gradually fades away. The heroine tries very hard to be tempestuous but comes off vacant.
dir: Gillian Armstrong
cast: Winona Ryder, Gabriel Byrne, Trini Alvarado, Susan Sarandon, Kirsten Dunst, Claire Danes, Samantha Mathis, Christian Bale, Eric Stoltz, Mary Wickes

THE MADNESS OF KING GEORGE
***½
UK
In the 18th Century, England's king shows signs of insanity.
   A witty, fascinating stage adaptation. A lot of it could pass for light comedy but there's also a lot of pondering going on over things with potentially grave consequences.
dir: Nicholas Hytner
wr: Alan Bennett
cast: Nigel Hawthorne, Helen Mirren, Ian Holm, Amanda Donohoe, Rupert Graves, Rupert Everett

A MAN OF NO IMPORTANCE
**½
UK
A middle-aged gay Dublin bus conductor attempts to stage Wilde's "Salome" at a local church.
   Well-acted, but hardly compelling or convincing, especially when it attempts social commenary.
dir: Suri Krishnamma
cast: Albert Finney, Brenda Fricker, Michael Gambon, Tara Fitzgerald, Rufus Sewell

MARY SHELLEY'S FRANKENSTEIN
**½
USA
A scientist tells a sea captain of how he gave life to a creature with tragic consequences.
   Despite remaining largely faithful to the novel (aside from a ludicrous ending), Branagh somehow manages to convert his material into a shameless ego-trip and the performances from a cast of talented people are uniformly embarrassing.
dir: Kenneth Branagh
cast: Robert de Niro, Kenneth Branagh, Helena Bonham Carter, Tom Hulce, Aidan Quinn, Ian Holm

THE MASK
***
USA
Dumb fun intended to show off contemporary visual effects and Jim Carrey's comic non-range.

MRS. PARKER AND THE VICIOUS CIRCLE
***
USA
A biopic of the witty and troubled Dorothy Parker, sadly concentrating on her suicide attempts more than it does on her wit. The cast is filled with young and upcoming talents not given enough to do.

MURIEL'S WEDDING
****
Australia
A fat neglected 22-year-old Abba-fan dreams of getting out of her native Porpoise Spit and getting married.
   A multitude of miseries and shallow triumphs are piled upon the borderline caricaturish characters, but the audience is gradually won over by the unlikely dignity the actors bestow upon them as well as the eccentric but infectious pride the maker feels for them.
dir: P. J. Hogan
wr: P.J. Hogan, Jocelyn Moorehouse
cast: Toni Colette, Bill Hunter, Rachel Griffiths, Jeanie Drynan, Gennie Nevinson, Sophie Lee, Matt Day

NAKED IN NEW YORK
**½
USA
An unoriginal, unpleasant comedy of the hardships of twenty-somethings.
dir: Dan Algrant
cast: Eric Stoltz, Mary-Louise Parker, Ralph Macchio, Jill Clayburgh, Tony Curtis, Timothy Dalton, Lynne Thigpen, Kathleen Turner, Roscoe Lee Browne, Whoopi Goldberg, Griffin Dunne, Calista Flockhart

NATURAL BORN KILLERS
***
USA
A young couple become mass murderers and media coverage elevates them to legends.
   A media attack that is violent, kinetic and dazzling for the first hour. Sure enough, it stays violent as well as hyperkinetic long after that, but it also gets exhausting.
dir: Oliver Stone
wr: David Veloz, Richard Rutowski, Oliver Stone, Quentin Tarantino
cast: Woody Harrelson, Juliette Lewis, Robert Downey Jnr, Tommy Lee Jones

NELL
**½
USA
A drama about a wild child that skids past several intriguing themes and exists entirely to showcase Jodie Foster's dramatic range, which is solid but hardly deep enough to keep the picture interesting.
dir: Michael Apted
cast: Jodie Foster, Liam Neeson, Natasha Richardson, Richard Libertini, Nick Searcy, Robin Mullins, Jeremy Davies

NOBODY'S FOOL
***½
USA
An aging small-town ne'er-do-well reviews life.
   Robert Benton seemingly wrote and re-wrote without directing much - though he did somehow make the sentimentality palatable and he did capitalise on the incomparable presence of a screen legend.
wr/dir: Robert Benton
cast: Paul Newman, Jessica Tandy, Bruce Willis, Melanie Griffith, Dylan Walsh, Philip Seymour Hoffman

ONCE WERE WARRIORS
**½
New Zealand
A Maori woman deals with problematic children and an abusive husband.
   An acclaimed family drama of squalor and domestic violence. It is shocking and disturbing, but also notably manipulative, melodramatic and overdone.
dir: Lee Tamahori
cast: Rena Owen, Temuera Morrison, Mamaengaroa Kerr-Bell, Julian Arahanga, Taungaroa Emile

IL POSTINO
**½
Italy/France
A shy postman learns about romance from an aging poet in exile.
   A foreign movie successful enough to even place among the Best Picture candidates (of the following year). Though warm, sweet and inoffensive, it lacks substance. It floats by and is easily forgotten, apart from Troisi's moving - and final - central performance.
dir: Michael Radford
cast: Massimo Troisi, Philippe Noiret, Maria Grazia Cucinotta

PRIEST
***½
UK
A priest is torn between his religion and his closeted homosexuality.
   A thoughtful, provocative and powerful drama, with a lot to say about homosexuality, incest and religion without the hysteria you'd expect.
dir: Antonia Bird
wr: Jommy McGovern
cast: Linus Roache, Tom Wilkinson, Cathy Tyson, Robert Carlyle, James Ellis, Lesley Sharp

PULP FICTION
****
USA
Four interlocking stories of a pair of hitmen, a clean-up professional, their boss, his wife and a troubled boxer.
   Probably the decade's defining film - if nothing else, at least for the amount of rip-offs it spawned. Beyond that though, it's a clever, witty and violent trip to the kind of gangster underworld that has only ever existed on celluloid. It proved the highpoint of several freshly resurrected careers.
dir: Quentin Tarantino
wr: Quentin Tarantino, Roger Avary
ph: Andzej Sekula
ed: Sally Menke
cast: John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman, Harvey Keitel, Bruce Willis, Tim Roth, Amanda Plummer, Ving Rhames, Maria de Medeiros, Eric Stoltz, Rosanna Arquette, Christopher Walken, Steve Buscemi

QUEEN MARGOT
****½
France/Germany/Italy
In 1572, the sister of the Catholic King of France is forced to marry the Protestant Duke of Navarre by her scheming mother. Lavish, engrossing and devastating historical melodrama ensues as the marriage leads to the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre and causes turmoil in the kingdom.
dir: Patrice Chereau
wr: Patrice Chereau, Daniele Thompson
ph: Philippe Rousselot
m: Goran Bregovic
pd: Richard Peduzzi, Olivier Radot
cast: Isabelle Adjani, Daniel Auteuil, Jean-Hugues Anglade, Vincent Perez, Virna Lisi

QUIZ SHOW
***
USA
In the late 1950s, the producers of a popular quiz show fix the results in search of better ratings.
   A classy if uninspired account of media corruption.
dir: Robert Redford
ph: Michael Ballhaus
cast: John Turturro, Ralph Fiennes, Rob Morrow, Paul Scofield, David Paymer, Hank Azaria

REALITY BITES
**½
USA
Eager to be the defining movie of Generation X. Surely there was more to Generation X.
dir: Ben Stiller
cast: Winona Ryder, Ethan Hawke, Janeane Garofalo, Steve Zahn, Ben Stiller, Swoosie Kurtz, John Mahoney, Renee Zellweger

THE RIVER WILD
***½
USA
A tense, exciting B-thriller. For what it is, it's very well done.
dir: Curtis Hanson
cast: Meryl Streep, Kevin Bacon, John C. Reilly, David Straithairn, Joseph Mazzello

SERIAL MOM
**½
USA
More nauseating than funny, but Kathleen Turner knows how to go about it.
wr/dir: John Waters
cast: Kathleen Turner, Sam Waterston, Ricki Lake, Matthew Lillard, Scott Wesley Morgan, Walt MacPherson, Traci Lords, Suzanne Somers

SHALLOW GRAVE
***
UK
Three flatmates discover a fourth dead and stumble upon a lot of money.
   A contemporary, violent variation on the Sierra Madre set-up, which has signals of talent and ambition. But it's marked by the jokey nastiness and pretensions of quirk that seemed novel for a very short period in the mid-90s before they devolved into the stereotypical, flashy first resort of the upstart indie filmmaker. Imitation may be the ultimate form of flattery but too much flattery has ensured that this particular movie has lost the impact that a sense of novelty brought to it.
dir: Danny Boyle
wr: John Hodge
cast: Kerry Fox, Christopher Eccleston, Ewan McGregor, Ken Stott, Keith Allen, Peter Mullan, Leonard O'Malley

THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION
**½
USA
A banker wrongly imprisoned for 20 years befriends a murderer serving a life sentence.
   An improbably polished prison melodrama with layers of many kinds of self-importance and a protagonist whose chief distinguishing feature is grave earnestness.
dir: Michael Darabont
cast: Tim Robbins, Morgan Freeman, Bob Gunton, William Sadler, Clancy Brown, Gil Bellows

SPEED
***
USA
A psychopath has planted a bomb on a bus which will explode if its speed drops bellow 50 mph.
   A fast, entertaining and proudly inconsequential action feature.
dir: Jan de Bont
cast: Keanu Reeves, Dennis Hopper, Sandra Bullock

STRAWBERRY AND CHOCOLATE
***
Cuba
In Havana, a student reluctantly develops a friendship with a homosexual.
   Despite the potential to explore several resonant issues and relationships, this dramedy takes the feelgood option, makes the obvious points and smiles a lot. Then again, as the first Cuban film to portray homosexuality in a positive light, it's probably daring.
dir: Tomás Gutiérrez Alea, Juan Carlos Tabio
cast: Jorge Perugorria, Vladimir Cruz, Mirta Ibarra

THE SUM OF US
**
Australia
A hilariously inept, sentimental Australian drama on mostly gay-related issues.
dir: Geoff Burton, Kevin Dowling
cast: Jack Thompson, Russell Crowe, John Polson, Deborah Kennedy

THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT PART III
***½
USA
A belated sequel, which includes never before seen clips. Thoroughly entertaining and thoroughly forgettable.

THREE COLOURS: RED
*****
France/Poland/Switzerland
A French model develops a relationship with a reclusive retired judge.
   The breathtaking final chapter of an impressive trilogy, this one abstractly deals with the topic of Fraternity. It's an intricate and intriguing study of communication and the lack thereof as well as of the part coincidence plays in day-to-day things. A gorgeous, profound, life-altering cinema experience.
dir: Krzysztof Kieslowki
wr: Krzysztof Piesiewicz
ph: Piotr Sobocinski
m: Zbigniew Preisner
cast: Irène Jacob, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Jean-Pierre Lorit, Frédérique Feder

THREE COLOURS: WHITE
****½
France
The second, most regularly underappreciated part of Kieslowski's Three Colours trilogy, this one covers the notion of 'Equality' as liberally as the other two did 'Liberty' and 'Fraternity'. It's lighter than just about anything else Kieslowski ever did and, though less contemplative than is the norm with his oeuvre, it's a delight.
   The plot involves a down-and-out, passport-less Polish emigré in Paris getting jilted by his wife (for being impotent) and smuggled out of France inside a suitcase (which then takes an unorthodox route to Warsaw). It's like Kieslowski and his regular co-writer Krzysztof Piesiewicz read about a bizarre case in a 'believe-it-or-not' section of a newspaper and decided to put a face on it. And Zbigniew Zamachowski's face projects the perfect mix of forlorn and irrepressible. When he rolls out of a trash pile on the brink of tears and whispers "I'm home," it's a moment of triumph that stands out against all other cinematic moments of triumph.
dir: Krzysztof Kieslowski
wr: Krzysztof Kieslowski, Krzysztof Piesiewicz
ph: Edward Klosinski
m: Zbigniew Preisner
cast: Zbigniew Zamachowski, Julie Delpy, Janusz Gajos, Jerzy Stuhr

THREESOME
***½
USA
A funny, perceptive and entertaining account of a ménage-a-trois. Very mid-90s, but in a happy way.
wr/dir: Andrew Fleming
cast: Josh Charles, Lara Flynn Boyle, Stephen Baldwin, Alexis Arquette, Martha Gehman

TO LIVE
***
China
The rise and fall of fortunes of a Chinese couple between the 40s and 70s.
   A well-intentioned and respectable but uninvolving domestic saga that lacks the emotional impact and sense of intimacy of Zhang's earlier, better work.
dir: Zhang Yimou
cast: Ge You, Gong Li

TRUE LIES
***
USA
Dumb fun with a lot of intentional humour and, in Schwarzenegger's dialogue delivery, just as much that isn't.
dir: James Cameron
cast: Arnold Scwarzenegger, Jamie Lee Curtis, Tom Arnold, Bill Paxton, Tia Carrere, Charlton Heston, Art Malik

VANYA ON 42ND STREET
***½
USA
A group of actors rehearse a performance of Chekov's "Uncle Vanya".
   The concept was never going to make for stirring cinema, but the end result did end up quite compelling and affecting all the same.
dir: Louis Malle
cast: Wallace Shawn, Julianne Moore, Brooke Smith, Larry Pine, George Gaynes, Phoebe Brand, Madhur Jeffrey, André Gregory

WILD REEDS
*****
France
In France 1962, a radical French-Algerian student arrives at a rural boarding school.
   An honest, evocative, incisive and deeply affecting account of a youth at a social and emotional crossroads, with remarkably sensitive direction and performances.
