		<description><![CDATA[ Sergio Castellitto is a fine actor. And I mean fine in the sense of &#8220;superb,&#8221; rather than &#8220;passable.&#8221; He is excellent here as the deeply flawed central character, as is his co-star, an astoundingly unglamorous, often homely, Penelope Cruz. The two play rather unconventional lovers whose relationship is replayed in the mind of Castelitto&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My favorite film from the 2009 Chicago International Film Festival, Bong Joon-Ho&#8217;s Mother, doesn&#8217;t so much defy classification as much as it conglomerates genres in a way that seems as unusual as it is natural. Those who have seen Bong&#8217;s 2006 sea monster romp, The Host, will sense an immediate familiarity with Bong&#8217;s blending of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The prologue to Antichrist, Lars von Trier&#8217;s latest cinematic provocation, is among the most moving, sumptuous, beautiful imagery ever set to a score and projected for an audience. Washed in a blue monochrome, the slow-motion sequence both takes your breath away and paralyzes you. It is so beautiful, in fact, that it nearly anesthetizes you [...]]]></description>

He is well known for the visual flourish he brings to action sequences, which is tirelessly put to use is Red Cliff, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Director Carlos Reygadas doesn&#8217;t have a very simple explanation for why he entitled his feature film debut Japón, given that the film is set in Mexico and populated by Mexican characters who do not do or say anything remotely Asian. Reygadas claims that the title captures the film&#8217;s tone, revealing his own broad conception of [...]]]></description>

There wasn&#8217;t an art house cinema in my hometown, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Battle in Heaven is my introduction to Mexican Director Carlos Reygadas. Over the last several years, I have had an unseen copy of his feature directorial debut, Japon (2002), both on VHS tape from cable (since discarded) and on a DVR recording (on two different systems that have since been replaced). After experiencing Battle in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hearing clapping at the end of a film is unusual these days (in most American cinemas, anyway, outside of special screenings with actors or filmmakers in attendance). Hearing clapping at the end of a film screening in my home theater is more unusual. That kind of expression seems a little silly, especially when the &#8220;audience&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Breaking and Entering, the last film by director Anthony Minghella before his tragic early death, has so much going for it on its surface that it&#8217;s true value — the ideas that lie underneath — almost go undetected. That just might be the definition for the ideal of entertainment cinema. The surface here is adorned [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[And the award for the most misguided holocaust drama goes to . . . The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. This film is so misguided in its concept, it&#8217;s story, it&#8217;s motivations, and it&#8217;s message that it would have been a great consolation had the acting and production design also been poor. Sadly, though, David [...]]]></description>

Likewise, we are treated to fine performances by Gweneth Paltrow and Vinessa Shaw as the titular competing interests for the affection of Phoenix&#8217;s Leonard, a young man with [...]]]></description>

What a shame, then, that this documentary isn&#8217;t more compelling. Nonetheless, the story is so important, and the [...]]]></description>
