Queen To Play
Using chess as the central thread of this story, Queen to Play isn't however a film about the game itself but rather the portrait of a woman's mid-life crisis, with light doses of social commentary in the background.
|
 |
Quills
With such a fiery subject, the Marquis De Sade, it would have been easy to make of Quills a voyeuristic, gratouitously shocking film, or on the contrary, a puritanical and condemning lampoon. Philip Kaufman (Unbearable Lightness of Being) avoids the trap of the tendency in order to compose a gorgeous ode to the freedom of expression.

 |
QuinceaÃâ±era
Contrasting the culture and traditions of Southern California Mexican-Americans with the youth culture of today, Quinceanera is a tribute to the individuality and strength of social exiles.

|
 |
Read My Lips
A sexless tale of love from two marginal people in French society might not sound like a thriller or a trip down Ha Ha Street, but humor and edginess compete to make a heartfelt film.
|
 |
The Recruit
Conceived like a negative of Spygame, The Recruit confronts Pacino, a CIA old-timer and untouchable film icon with Colin Farrell, a young agency recruit and Hollywood It Boy of the moment.
|
 |
Red Dragon
Adapting Thomas Harris' first chapter of the Lecter trilogy was a daunting task, a cinematic mantrap as it would be hard to top The Silence of the Lambs in people's mind and outdo Hannibal's bold extravaganza. But there was another challenge as Michael Mann already mastered the subject with Manhunter in 1986.
|
 |
Revolucion
A new generation of Mexican filmmakers questions the gains of the Mexican Revolution as its centenary fast approaches.
|
 |
Red Lights

 |
The Red Siren
Is there life after The Professional? That's what French director Olivier Megaton seems to think as The Red Siren recycles all the tricks of the European action cinema trade with, at times, a few moments of inspiration.
|
 |
Reign of Fire
With its dragons, post-apocalyptic setting, limited budget and overacting from one of the lead actors, Reign of Fire is nothing less than a B-movie disguised as a big production.
|
 |

|
 |
Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles
With Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles, we are offered yet another opportunity to see the softer side of one of cinema's leading contemporary filmmakers.
|
 |
The Ring
With its subtle and hypnotic approach to horror, its stylized esthetics and mirror effects, The Ring is an atypical film, a postmodern work that transcends a dying genre to feed itself with the obsessions and phobias of a society that's victim to media saturation.
|
 |
Rivals
Leather jackets, tight jeans, big moustaches, Renault 5 and disco sounds: there is no doubt, we're in the 70's. Filled with nostalgia, Jacques Maillot's Rivals brings us back to an era that was marked by Jean-Paul Belmondo and Alain Delon's cop and gangster movies.
|
 |
Rivers and Tides
This documentary, winner of The Golden Gate Award at the 2002 San Francisco Film Festival, follows artist Andy Goldsworthy for about a year, capturing on film the process of his creative genius. Most of the time Goldsworthy's work requires documentation by photographic imagery, since his art is, by nature, of nature itself, and therefore often subject to immediate decay.

|
 |
Rollerball
John McTiernan's remake of Rollerball has been dissed both by critics and the audience. Poorly publicized and stealthily distributed, did it deserve such a hostile reception?
|
 |
The Royal Tenenbaums
Quirky, funny and thought provoking, The Royal Tenenbaums is a fine film that introduces a dysfunctional family with heart and avoids overbearing pity.
|
 |
Russian Ark
Art and history cross and merge openly during this inter-temporal and surrealist guided visit that Aleksandr Sokurov has invited us to attend.
|
 |
