NAQOYQATSI

The third film in director Godfrey Reggio and composer Philip Glass’s wordless, impressionistic “Qatsi” trilogy, following the legendary KOYAANISQATSI and POWAQQATSI

NADJA

The “masterpiece” of American indie film darling Michael Almereyda, a highly evocative and idiosyncratic (read: pretentious) black and white reverie set in mid-1990s NYC

THE HUNTING PARTY

A gotta-see-it-to-disbelieve-it product of the early seventies, when the production code governing film content had just been abolished, and American moviemakers responded by unleashing a veritable tsunami of sex and violence

A HUNGER ARTIST

This 1982 Franz Kafka adaptation is a nicely lensed 22-minute account that really captures the story’s surreal élan

HUMANOIDS FROM THE DEEP

More eighties trashola from Roger Corman, with plenty of gore, slime, cheesy sea monsters, gratuitous T&A and one of the cinema’s better mutant birth scenes

HOUSE OF USHER

The first of Roger Corman’s stately and refined Edgar Allen Poe adaptations. An affecting film, but I prefer my Corman pictures down and dirty
