The film tells the story of two plots to assassinate the Nazi Germany political leadership.

'Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds is a big, bold, audacious war movie that will annoy some, startle others and demonstrate once again that he’s the real thing, a director of quixotic delights.' Roger Ebert

 

The film is an anthology film containing three distinct stories which are connected by a car accident in Mexico City.

'Recalling Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction - but edgier than both - this is a hell of a first film. For all its bonecrunching savagery, it's also a fundamentally moral work.' Geoff Andrew

 

The film is a historical adventure depicting the founding of the Jamestown, Virginia settlement and inspired by the historical figures Captain John Smith and Pocahontas.

'The New World is a work of breathtaking imagination, less a movie than a mode of transport, and in every sense a masterpiece.' Carina Chocano

The film depicts journalist Jean-Dominique Bauby's life after he suffers a massive stroke at the age of 42, which left him with locked-in syndrome.

'Here is the life force at its most insistent, lashing out against fate with stubborn resolve. And also with lust, hunger, humor and all of the other notes that this man once played so easily.' Roger Ebert

 

 

 

Władysław Szpilman, a famous Polish Jewish pianist, sees his whole world collapse with the outbreak of World War II and the invasion of Poland.

'This is not a thriller, and avoids any temptation to crank up suspense or sentiment; it is the pianist's witness to what he saw and what happened to him.' Roger Ebert

 

The film depicts the final ten days of Adolf Hitler's life in his Berlin bunker and Nazi Germany in 1945. The film begins in East Prussia with a group of German women being escorted to Adolf Hitler's compound.

'Any film that reminds us what our darkest nature looks like has value for that reason alone.' Kenneth Turan

 

Set sometime in the future, humanity's best efforts to maintain civilization have led to the creation of new robots known as mechas. A.I. tells the story of David, a child-like mecha programmed with the unique ability to love.

'Deeply thoughtful and thoroughly fascinating.' Todd McCarthy

'Cuaron fulfills the promise of futuristic fiction; characters do not wear strange costumes or visit the moon, and the cities are not plastic hallucinations, but look just like today, except tired and shabby.' Roger Ebert
