Red Rock West (1993)
A man traveling through a Western town is caught in a web of circumstance and betrayal, the rich femme fatale, the corrupt policeman, the wounded military veteran, the homicidal psychopath. Great plot, keeps you guessing.
Last Seduction, The (1993)
Bridget, the ultimate ice–queen, skips town with the cash her dead–beat doctor husband receives from a drug deal. She hooks up with the naive Mike who will do anything for her, even murder. Clever, intriguing black humour. Definitely not a date film..
Simple Men (1992)
Two New York brothers set out to find their long lost father, an anarchist who breaks out of jail. An unusual, tranquil and highly entertaining film with very likeable characters.
- Poster (U) $9.95
Clerks (1993)
Dante, a convenience store clerk, is called into work on his day off by his boss to cover for another employee who is sick. Along with Randal, he spends the day annoying customers, discussing movies and plays hockey on the roof. Witty dialogue.
Slacker (1992)
A uniquely–structured and seemingly plotless film, following a single day in the life of an ensemble of mostly twenty–something bohemians and misfits in Austin, Texas. Really kicked off the independent film movement of the 1990s.
Kids (1995)
Telly, a promiscuous HIV–positive teen, and his mate Casper, hang out on the streets of New York 'de–flowering' as many girls as they can. Was supposed to be a wake–up call for the 90s, but for who? Gratuitously violent & explicit. Didn't get it.
Tulse Luper Suitcases, Part 1: The Moab Story (2003)
Revolving around the contents of one man's suitcases, we follow Tulse Luper in 3 distinct episodes: as a child during World War I, as an explorer in Mormon Utah, and as a writer in Belgium during the rise of fascism. Utterly gorgeous.- Poster (VG) $12.95
Prospero's Books (1991)
An exiled magician finds an opportunity for revenge against his enemies muted when his daughter, and the son of his chief enemy, fall in love. Uniquely structured retelling of the 'The Tempest'. Quite a spectacle to behold.
Zed and Two Noughts, A (1985)
Two zoologist twin brothers lose each of their wives in a freak car crash involving an escaped swan from the zoo. They become obsessed with understanding death, the creation of life, and become involved in a menage a trois. Beautiful scenes & music.
Queen Margot (La Reine Margot) (1994)
Young Queen Margot finds herself trapped in an arranged marriage amidst a religious war between Catholics and Protestants. During the infamous St. Bartholomew's Day massacre, a badly wounded man knocks on Margot's door.. Epic French period drama.
