		<description><![CDATA[There are only a few directors in the history of cinema that have manged to craft, even from their earliest works, a consistent, signature style.  Most fimmakers adjust in major ways project to project. Others seem content (some may claim are stuck) in a general aesthetic that shapes their works. These directors create worlds you [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m the one that defends Phantom Menace, John Carter, and even War Horse, kinda, but thought Hunger Games was a disaster.

He slinks into the dark Brooklyn divebar, ostensibly there to both celebrate a birthday and perform in concert. The man who goes by the stage name &#8220;Black Velvet&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Following up on their recent success with the Lars Von Trier retrospective, TIFF Lightbox provides a similar overview of the career of another provocative and controversial filmmaker, Roman Polanski. Like Von Trier, it’s often difficult for many to separate the art from the life of the man, and few have lived a more colourful and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Once upon a time, way before there were the interwebs as we know them to be, there were a series of clipshows that&#8217;d play local arthouses. I remember sitting through 90 minutes of weird Japanese hottub-farting commercials, or clips of Scandavians learning English through the filthy lyrics of hardcore music on the radio. These were [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Way back in 2008, I described director Steve McQueen&#8217;s HUNGER, starring Michael Fassbender, as &#8220;a study in meditation and ambivalence&#8221;. With this, his second film and second collaboration with the fantastically talented actor, McQueen turns his lens to a far more prosaic topic &#8211; loveless fucking. Not since Cronenberg&#8217;s 1996 film CRASH, also a film [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Back in the spring of 1996 I had the opportunity to attend the Cannes Film Festival. The whole week was a whirlwind, my first real fest experience that involved a lack of sleep, running from screening to screening and seeing some of the best (and worst!) films that I&#8217;d ever experienced. &#8217;96 was the year [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a scene early on in INNI where the members of Sigur Rós sit down to an interview at NPR. Asked if their music started out as something more conventional before it became experimental, the four of them stare at the off screen host, dumfounded. Describing their music is a fool&#8217;s errand, one even the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With THE LAST WALTZ, Martin Scorsese assembled some of the finest cinematographers in history and captured the epic last concert of The Band. He interspersed concert footage with behind-the-scenes interviews, crafting one of the finest documentations of that period of music. With SHINE A LIGHT, he brought 70mm IMAX production to a contemporary Rolling Stones [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It all seemed so promising &#8211; a commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the Chinese revolution that overthrew centuries of dynastic rule, coupled with the 100th film credited to international superstar Jackie Chan, and granted a budget that could see such a story being brought to the screen with sufficient pomp and scope. Why, then, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[THE INTERRUPTERS is a poignant, engaging look at a group of Chicagoans looking to curb the violence plaguing their city. Tracing a year in the life of this group, the film details with stark clarity the lives of a community beset by ongoing cycles of retribution. We follow a group of &#8220;Interrupters&#8221;, former gang members [...]]]></description>
