  • The American (2010)
    Review preview for The American

    The killer-for-hire subgenre takes on an abstract, existentialist complexion.

    Anton Bitel · 4 out of 5
    An assassin tries to escape his past.
  • Caligula (1979)
    Review preview for Caligula

    This is not an erotic movie, true there are copious scenes of copulation... but Brass doesn't linger on them long enough for them to become titillating, he has to show something gross and/or bloody in the same scene.

    Tony Sullivan · 4 out of 5
    Graphic retelling of the story of the Roman emperor.
  • Midnight Express (1978)
    Review preview for Midnight Express

    A hard-hitting, ruthlessly honest account of a young American's experience of being locked up in a throw-away-the-key situation miles and years from home.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 4 out of 5
    Authentic experiences of a young American incarcerated in a Turkish prison in the Seventies.
  • Night On Earth (1991)
    Review preview for Night On Earth

    It's largely in Jarmusch's preferred genre of tittering, offbeat comedy, though, and he conjures up some brilliant scenarios and characters.

    Ben Sillis · 4.5 out of 5
    One night, five taxis, different countries, awkward moments, some humour, much humanity.
