Comments
Le Mépris
1963 France, Italy
My Neighbour Totoro
1988 Japan
As simple as it is unsentimental, Totoro is consolation in its purest, most magical form.
Beau travail
1998 France
The male body as a political prism: Claire Denis makes the implicit in cinema's history explicit and thereby transcends genre/gender
