In the Cut (2003)
Wonderful, beautiful, sensitive film
This was one of the best films I've seen in a long time, full of beauty and passion. Meg Ryan and Jennifer Jason Leigh were both brilliant as actresses in it, and very believable as people. The acting, the camera work, the characters, the intricate plot, were all top notch. We need more films like this.
Eleni (1985)
Reactionary Garbage, one of the worst films ever made
This unbelievably reactionary piece of garbage actually glorifies a traitor to the Greek people who supported the fascists in the Civil War. The mother who is the supposed "hero" even purposefully maims her daughter at one point to prevent her from fighting on the side of the freedom fighters! (I'm not kidding! This is portrayed as "positive"! What will they do for a sequel: do a film glorifying child abusers in general?) The protagonist in the film stalks a former leader in the resistance in Greece and carries a gun with him intending to kill him. This unbelievable concoction of lies and nonsense is shameful and there is nothing that can be said that is bad enough about the film and the people who made it. Showing it comes awfully close to being a hate crime, in my opinion. ZERO STARS
