Aron Ralston is an adrenalin junkie, and as any self respecting pleasurer of the ’oh, that’s a bit extreme!’, he’s full on tearing it through Utah's Canyonlands National Park when one leap too far leaves his arm pinioned by a bolder in a barren crevasse. Based on a true story this is the remarkable account of Ralston’s cocky, hopeful, desperate, hallucinatory and determined desire to survive. A superb performance by Franco (and a cracking soundtrack) help pull this minimalist film through; tight

Four interlocking stories run in parallel; two set in Morocco, one in Mexico and one in Japan and all four follow different cinematic traditions that can be described as coming from World Cinema, American melodrama, American thriller and Asian New Wave. The accidental shooting of an American tourist is the trigger that begins a chain of misery that slowly envelopes four seemingly disparate groups of people from different social, cultural and geographic backgrounds. Borrowing, at a distance, from

After an argument with her husband a large German tourist gets out of her car and takes a walk. The place she ends up is the Bagdad Cafe, a run down establishment in the Arizona desert inhabited by an off-beat bunch of characters. A great understated movie - a European look at America.

A sergeant-major finds himself threatened by the heroism of an attractive new recruit and, fuelled by resentment, envy and hate, becomes obsessed with plotting the young man's downfall. Though little is spelt out explicitly in this tale of repressed emotion leading to murderous jealousy, the film is accessible and clear throughout. The director's concerns are with how a wide open colonial outpost may become a prison, how men cope with an all-male society and how the physical can mirror the metap

The first and best of the Italian "Mexi-Westerns", on a par with Leone's and with a haunting soundtrack. An American mercenary teams up with a bandit on the fringes of the revolutionaries in order to assinate their leader. A violent political film from the same pen as The Battle Of Algiers.
