The Film Issue #3: Netflix is your friend

2046
Too beautiful for me and you and everyone we know

THE BEATLES ANTHOLOGY
(5-DISC EDITION)
Endlessly fascinating for the Fab Four fan; neophyte's perfect introduction

DOGVILLE
Enchanting, horrifying, skeletal and unforgettable. A true tour de force.

DONT LOOK BACK
Electrifying ascent into press conference madness and drop-D cerebellum tunings

JEEVES AND WOOSTER: SEASON 1 (2-DISC SERIES)
Fry and Laurie distilled into pure delight. It's the balm.

THE LIFE AQUATIC WITH STEVE ZISSOU
Best seen as a fantastical gloss on Baumbach's Squiddish masterpiece.

LOST IN TRANSLATION

I went from borderline dislike (first viewing) to hypnotic rapture (take two)

PRIMER
A gruesome piece of math, a bachelor machine, a curse

THE SADDEST MUSIC IN THE WORLD
Careening absurdity, Canadian style: as audacious as it is entertaining

STOP MAKING SENSE
Stop making sense—and start watching this movie! Solid gold.
