4. FORTY SHADES OF BLUE (US, 2005, d. Ira Sachs)
(Movie section/Movie Reviews)
This is a character study which makes demands on audience patience.  Moving slowly, it builds up a picture of an unusual set of characters and asks us to empathise (not always sympathise) and to try to understand them.

5. FEARLESS (China, 2005, d. Ronny Yu)
(Movie section/Movie Reviews)
Lately, the name of Jet Li at the head of the cast has not been a sign for general rejoicing.  The martial arts champion of the world (five times in the late 1970s) made an impact in Hong Kong cinema in the 1980s and 1990s but then came to Holly...

6. FLANDERS (France, 2006, d. Bruno Dumont)

(Movie section/Movie Reviews)
It’s a pity that Harrison Ford is looking so old but playing considerably younger than he is, along with a beautiful wife (Virginia Madsen) and two young children – he was 63 when he made Firewall.  Still, he has som...

9. FAILURE TO LAUNCH (US, 2006, d. Tom Dey)
(Movie section/Movie Reviews)
The title is a phrase to denote that the son has not left the family nest, even if he has a good job and is in his mid-30s.  He is still there with his parents – and they really want him to launch....
