Twentynine Palms

Bruno Dumont is one to watch. Although a bit of a disappointment after the masterful L'Humanite, it is still a worthwhile subversion of the thriller.

Good Morning, Night

Marco Bellochio seems very talented but this is his only available film. A very intriguing, occasionally beautiful look into a terrorist organistion, without any heavy handed preaching.

Code 46

Michael Winterbottom 2000s = Altman 1970s. Probably the best British filmmaker working today.

The Brown Bunny

Aesthetically progressive and moving. A worthy succesor to Two-Lane Blacktop. It's a shame Gallo's not solely a filmmaker.

Last Life In The Universe

Wow. Christopher Doyle simply doesn't operate on the same level as ordinary human beings. His camera is transcendental in this fantastic Thai film with its beautiful story and painfully gorgeous soundtrack.

So ridiculously enjoyable that it's popular to call it overrated. Tarantino wishes he could make a film this good.

Kill Bill - Vol. 1

Saying that, Kill Bill Vol. 1 was one hell of a ride.
