The weekly film at our local art house cinema, the beautifully restored Kirby Center for the Performing Arts, will be pre-empted tomorrow. Rather than showing Jacques Rivette's Duchess of Langeais , the Kirby will host a John McCain "Straight Talk Town Hall." More... I wanted to see the movie, but maybe I'll attend the really big show instead. After all, the plots of the two events actually track pretty...

The author Richard Brody's urge to assess the film director's work thoroughly seems to spring from a heartfelt desire to comprehend this complicated and, by most accounts, thoroughly disagreeable man.

Well, fuck me, it’s already past the half-year mark, and 2008 has really surprised me. Thanks to studios like IFC, the early part of the year has been filled with 2007 leftovers from the various international festivals. From new films by Gus Van Sant, Jacques Rivette, Catherine Breillat and Olivier Assayas, to name a few, could you ask for a whole lot more? I’ve assessed all the films I’ve seen that...

The two lovers in "The Duchess of Langeais" are often separated by walls - real ones, as well as divides of social expectations and self-imposed pride - and their passion burns more fiercely for it.

So BAM is showing Sex and the City and the new Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: I thought they were the local edgy cinema. Aren't those films, like, big blockbusters? What are they doing at BAM. WE can go to the Pavilion to see them. They do have Reprise: The freewheeling passion of youth and the unpredictable perils of fate are both the subject and breathtaking form of Joachim Trier’s...

‘Baby Mama’ | C+ | (PG-13: 1:36): In a social satire that turns warm and fuzzy, Tina Fey as a yuppie who yearns for a child and Amy Poehler as the trashy simpleton who’s hired as a surrogate extract some laughs from their odd-couple routine. Written and directed by a man who had never helmed [...]

Film Reviews: Nobody's innocent in "The Great Alibi," a highly chatty, highly French whodunit from veteran writer and Jacques Rivette collaborator Pascal Bonitzer ("Small Cuts") that adapts Agatha Christie's 1946 novel "The Hollow" to chic present-day Gaul. With high-class corpses popping up faster than corks off champagne bottles, and strong ensemble thesping, this potboiler is pleasant enough, although...
