  • FOR ELLEN

    Korean-born, American-raised indie filmmaker So Yong Kim has steadily been building a growing critical reputation for her naturalistic, pared-down yet subtly emotive approach to storytelling last seen in Treeless Mountain, an affecting study of a fraught Korean childhood.

  • HITCHCOCK

    This affectionate, if somewhat speculative biographical drama suggests it wasn’t always easy being ‘The Master of Suspense’.

  • TOPAZ

    Hitchcock’s stature and expertise, built up over the decades, makes his failures more interesting than some other directors’ facile successes. Topaz was a failure both critically and commercially; it has a dull central performance and a meandering narrative, based on... Read More
