Friday Film: Reviews and an appreciation of Ang Lee

Posted by Sarah

 

Today in the film lounge (thanks Screengrab!): 

The Darjeeling Limited: "Darjeeling, with its obsessive rituals and inherited mannerisms, represents a sad regression."

Feast of Love: "It's a ten-course meal that most viewers will quickly come to wish had been served up smorgasbord-style, allowing them to grab the fresh items and leave the rancid ones behind."

Lust, Caution: "The tension is ratcheted by the film's much-publicized sex scenes; unlike most cinematic clinches, the graphic trysts are revelatory."

Knocked Up: Unrated and Unprotected Edition: "No matter what version you pick up, you get more than your money's worth from the feature alone."

Sex and Sensibility — Sarah Hepola explores the erotic oeuvre of Ang Lee: "Sex turns out to be a wonderful cinematic device to explore the tension between what's expected and what's longed for."
