Search: Starring Udo Kier

As a cinematic first the audacity and imagination of Bart Leyton's way of working breaks new ground

The film goes for broke. No safety net. No apologies. Believing in itself.

Creates a unique and eerily grounded suspense that transcends genre.

Full of visceral action from start to finish, this is a kinetic mix of impressive stunts and inventive shots.

Despite its share of mismatched moments, Young’s feature has a lot of creative flair.

The film has that trademark combination of high artistic ambition and crude pornographic content, sometimes charming or am,using, sometimes repellent.

Nobody seems to notice that this unresponsive woman is not in fact paying attention to them, and Kramer spins this out impressively, building drama from a mixture of monologuing and imagination.

Brawl In Cell Block 99 is one of the best action films of the year.

Beautifully lit, Daughter Of Mine conjures up a tremendous sense of place, all salt breezes, scrubland and golden sand.

It's hard to be tough on a film as warm-hearted as this one is in spirit - like Callahan, it's trying hard even when it fails.

Alexander Payne's latest, unclassifiable film gallivants with us through a number of different worlds that all seem familiar, yet perplexing.

Long, slow and at times painful.

Defies convention.

Death might be a release.

What is quite wonderful in all this flowing and "fade, fade, fade," fading is that the characters and their stories belong to no one specifically. They belong to a cinematic spirit world and maybe nobody even wanted them.

Sadly, there is not a funny enough script or any particularly amusing performance to provide a backbone to hang the visualisations on, leaving Iron Sky as a more of a showcase for what low-budget filmmaking can achieve in terms of effects.

After a string of vulgar performances in awful films, Tim Roth here makes a stunning return to form as the cabaret owner and hypnotist, courageously portraying an ambitious and frightened man whose life is dominated by the secrets he keeps.

The film still doesn't work, but not for lack of effort expended.

To enjoy this kind of adventure, you have to get lost in Guy Maddin's house, because he has made a ghost of a film - 'but a ghost isn't nothing.'

Lulu And Jimi certainly shares with Lynch a level of surrealism and an ability to switch mood dramatically from the candy floss highs of love to much darker territory.

The bleached-to-monochrome palette and rich textures are stunningly beautiful to behold, if also deeply unnerving.

Be warned: this Great Dane backs up his satiric bark with a vicious bite.

Lars von Trier's sublime invitation to the end of the world is a grand film by a master story teller who does not repeat himself.

Kier, Goldblum, and Lavant are never less than fantastic in their portrayal of modes of crazed, unreliably self-assured masculinity.

Both actors are masters of his kind of material and give the film a good deal more depth and nuance than is present in the script alone.

This is brilliant.

Never comes close to matching the stunning colour-saturated aesthetic of its two predecessors.

The sense that Van Sant is being too clever by half doesn't diminish the power of his imagery.

It's a film that goes out of its way to provoke and disappoint, but to those who get its jokes and can cope with the rest, it's a delight.

Smutný gives us faces that will stories even when they're still, the weight of long experience etched into every line.

A soggy experience.

A true original.

Marcelo is at home in the fine tradition of flicks where the fact that they are an agent is mainly a secret to them.

Those who doubt the artistic potential of the horror genre should be nailed down and made to watch this.

Swan Song is, like many such airs, a little too slow and indulgent for its own good, sometimes meandering and losing its way, but Kier’s magnetic performance, which won him Best Actor Awards in Dublin and Monte Carlo, holds it all together.

This offbeat comedy is a genuine step forward in the Scrooge-U-Like repro market.
