A great list with brief reviews of famous Russian films ...

I've only seen one of his movies, but it was so good (The Freshman, 1925). It's incredible how he can communicate so brilliantly without speaking.

:) he was really inspired by this one...

Quoted: “Sex and the City.”

I really would like to see this. This man is insane!

Quoted: Man on Wire, the newest theatrical documentary presented by Discovery Films, tells the dramatic true story of Philippe Petit's legendary, successful attempt to cross between the towers of New York's World Trade Center on a narrow steel cable.

Hoping to see this one soon.

Quoted: High and Low (Japanese: 天国と地獄, Tengoku to jigoku, literally "Heaven and Hell") is a 1963 film directed by Akira Kurosawa. It was loosely based on King's Ransom, an 87th Precinct police procedural by Evan Hunter (written under the pseudonym Ed McBain). High and Low is remarkable, in part, because it very clearly illustrates the divide between the rich and the poor in 1960s-era Japan.

This movie looks really interesting...

Quoted: Tough, unsparing, unexpectedly poetic, this shattering drama about a young woman obtaining an illegal abortion during the last days of the Ceausescu regime is sure to upend assumptions about what constitutes cinema and art itself.

Not a huge selection yet, but I like the idea. I hope this starts to happen with books as well.

Quoted: One of the many strengths of this beautifully controlled, slow-moving film is that the revelations come as a complete surprise at the same time that they make psychological sense. Not only that, but Mr. Hall's portrayal of a mysterious father figure whose air of unbreachable solemnity borders on caricature is in keeping with who Sydney turns out to be.

A lot of good supplementary material here on the making of the movie.

Quoted: Among its many achievements, Todd Haynes’s “I’m Not There” hurls a Molotov cocktail through the facade of the Hollywood biopic factory.
