    🌶️️️
    "Two black men training roosters for illegal cockfights in the basement of a shady suburban nightclub in France. Besides its underlying portrayal of exploitation of illegal immigrants, the film's claustrophobic, oppressive atmosphere is a fascinating ground for the dynamics of power and violence."
  • Película El misterio Von Bülow

    🌶️️️
    "There's nothing quite as fascinating as watching a rich, arrogant man fall from and fall from favor with a crash Claus von Bülow most certainly did, both in real life and on screen as played here by Jeremy Irons in an Oscar-winning turn."
  • Película Uno de los nuestros

  • Película La escalera de Jacob

    Película

    🌶️️️
    "Jacob's Ladder is a horror movie as ethereal journey. Most of the film takes place in the spiritual world reenvisioned as the concrete environment of New York City, where the soul of a dying man named Jacob Singer (Tim Robbins) is lost and confused in the fleeting moments before death."

    "Salomon Perel, played by Marco Hofschneider, changes uniforms, languages, and identities in an effort to survive the Holocaust. Renowned Polish filmmaker Agnieszka Holland refrains from passing judgment on her chameleon-like protagonist as she represents unspeakable psychological tortures."
  • Película Pretty Woman
    Pretty Woman

    Película

    🌶️️️
    "A 19404-style romantic comedy given a modern twist, Pretty Woman came along as a refreshing antidote to the macho wham-bam movies that dominated Hollywood's output in the late '80s. One of the highest-grossing pictures of 1990, it succeeded in making the "date movie" popular again."
  • Película Arcángel

    Película

    🌶️️️
    "Guy Maddin, the underground cult wizard from Winnipeg responsible for Tales From the Gimli Hospital, followed this up with Archangel, an even stranger black-and-white feature made on a heftier budget. The film involves amnesiac victims of mustard gas during World War I and the Russian Revolution."

    "Hal Hartley's second feature-a decided improvement over his first, The Unbelievable Truth (1989)-returns to the same basic turf, a Long Island commuter town, and features the same lead actress (Adrienne Shelly) as an alienated teenager."
