Sunday, December 18, 2005 8:30:09 PM
Far be it from me to suggest that only the Pioneer shows good movies. Here are a few that I saw elsewhere and liked a lot.
2046 - TriBeCa Film Festival
BLACK SUN - Toronto Film Festival
BROKEN FLOWERS - Angelika (or was it the Landmark?)
C.R.A.Z.Y. - Toronto Film Festival
CZECH DREAM - TriBeCa Film Festival
DOWNFALL - Landmark
EDVARD MUNCH - Cinema Village
FEAR X - Cinema Village
FORTY SHADES OF BLUE - Film Forum
GOOD NIGHT, AND GOOD LUCK - Regal Union Square
GRIZZLY MAN - Angelika
THE GRONHOLM METHOD - Walter Reade
A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE
I’M THE ANGEL OF DEATH (PUSHER 3) - Toronto Film Festival
JUNEBUG - Angelika
KONTROLL - (we screened this but only following its shows elsewhere)
KUNG FU HUSTLE - (we screened this but only following its shows elsewhere)
LAND OF THE DEAD - Regal Union Square
LAST DAYS - Landmark
THE LAST MITTERAND - TriBeCa Film Festival
MARCH OF THE PENGUINS - Angelika
MEMORY FOR MAX, CLAIRE, IDA, AND COMPANY - Toronto Film Festival
NOBODY KNOWS - Lincoln Plaza
OLD BOY - Angelika
OLIVER TWIST - Loew's Third Avenue
THE PIANO TUNER OF EARTHQUAKES - Toronto Film Festival
LE PONT DES ARTS - Brooklyn Academy of Music
THE POWER OF NIGHTMARES - TriBeCa Film Festival (though also see this article in THE NATION)
THE PRESIDENT'S LAST BANG - Cinema Village
PULSE - Waverly
RED EYE - Loew's Third Avenue (I think)
REGULAR LOVERS - Toronto Film Festival
SAVE THE GREEN PLANET - (we screened this but only following its shows elsewhere)
SAW II - somewhere on 42nd street
THE SWENKAS - Karlovy Vary Film Festival
SYMBIOPSYCHOTAXIPLASM: Take 1 - Waverly
SYMBIOPSYCHOTAXIPLASM: Take 2 ½ - TriBeCa Film Festival, Karlovy Vary Film Festival
THE SUN - New York Film Festival
THREE TIMES - Toronto Film Festival
PUZZLEHEAD - TriBeCa Film Festival
RULES OF THE GAME: ESTABLISHING THE PERIMETER - Karlovy Vary Film Festival
WINTER SOLDIER - Walter Reade
WORKINGMAN’S DEATH - Toronto Film Festival
ZIZEK! - Toronto Film Festival
It’s hard to pick absolute favorites. But here is my favorite film of the year, including movies at the Pioneer and elsewhere. It stayed with me most, and haunted me most, and moved me most.
It is BROKEN FLOWERS.
