Welcome to 20th Century Flicks

Another cult classic from David Lynch (Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks). Sailor and Laura are madly in love but her psychotic mother is having none of it, so they hit the road and begin an adventure peppered with plenty of sex, violence and manic music. Black, broody and very funny, this is a wild movie.

A photo-journalist, returning from a fruitless trip to the States, has a small child, Alice, dumped on him in a New York airport. The pair journey across Germany searching for her home town, whose name and address Alice can't remember, the only clue they have is a photograph of her grandmother's front door with no house number and no one in the shot. Full of low-key charm, an eminently watchable road movie that closely foreshadowed "Paris Texas".

It's a beautiful thing when a director is confident enough to take his time telling a story, and Shinji Aoyama is not a man to rush things. A brother and a sister and a bus driver are the only people left alive after they and their fellow passengers are taken hostage by a young nihilist. What follows is essentially a road movie as the survivors find themselves drawn back together, united in loss and a sense of displacement. The greatness of the film lies in its movement forwards. Just as the characters are struggling to move on, so the film feels stuck in a slow whirlpool. The bus trip they embark on feels not only essential to keep the characters moving (there is of course no destination), but also to keep the film going. With strong elements of Terrence Mallick, Wim Wenders' early films (The Goalkeeper's Fear of the Penalty Kick, Alice In The Cities) and the new wave of Scandinavian melancholy humanist movies (like Aki Kaurismaki's The Man Without A Past), this is well worth watching if you like your movies slow, thoughtful and beautifully shot.

En route to Addie's relatives, Moses learns that the 9-year-old is quite a handful: she smokes, cusses, and is almost as devious and manipulative as he is. They join forces as swindlers..." - Hal Erickson, Rovi. Peter Bogdanovich's masterpiece, and shamefully overlooked by many!
