Richard Gere stars as a hornet player in 1920s Harlem who saves the life of a gangster but then becomes involved with the gangster's girl. An ambitious film which ultimately loses focus.

'Whatever it took to do it, Coppola has extracted a very special film out of the checkered history of this project.' Roger Ebert

 

Klaus Kinski stars as the Brazilian bandit, Cobra Verde in the actor's last collaboration with director Werner Herzog.

'The final third of this film contains sequences of horrifying sublimity and ethereal beauty, moments that have a clarity and power beyond the reach of reason.'  A.O. Scott

Mowgli is found in a basket as a baby in the deep jungles of Madhya Pradesh, India. Bagheera, the black panther who discovers the boy, promptly takes him to an Indian Wolf who has just had cubs.

'The standout song goes to Harris, a rhythmic 'Bare Necessities' extolling the value of a simple life and credited to Terry Gilkyson.' Variety

 

 

 

Animation following a retired couple living in rural Britain facing the devastation of nuclear war.

'There have been enough post-holocaust nuclear winter films nearly to constitute a genre, but there has never been anything quite like veteran animator Murakami's version of Raymond Briggs' cartoon book.' Time Out

 

 

 

 

Kiki is a 13 year old witch desperate for own independence who goes off to a large port and starts a delivery service as she tries to find her place in the world. A delightful coming of age tale from master Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki.
