Takashi Miike has a suitably Miike short, which is heavy on atmosphere and weirdness and short on … Continue reading

It’s a triumphant story of the empowerment of one Moari girl in New Zealand, but it’s the kind of film that makes you feel like a better person just for having watched. North Country is also about the empowerment of a single female, but … Continue reading
