Female Trouble (1975) 90% EDIT “It is this reversal, the realization that the freak is an essential part of a social whole and that beauty falls into contradiction by attempting to be both normative and expressive of individuality, that Female Trouble executes in uproarious fashion.” – PopMatters Dec 17, 2018 Full Review Berlin: Symphony of a Metropolis (1927) 6/10 EDIT “The magic of Berlin is its ability to provide an insight into the emergent qualities that make a city what it is, beyond being a mere composite of the elements within its geographical boundaries.” – PopMatters Dec 2, 2018 Full Review Manila in the Claws of Neon (1975) 100% 6/10 EDIT “A sad but beguiling film, Manila offers many more scenes that might inspire philosophical and political reflection than the few I was able to discuss here.” – PopMatters Nov 16, 2018 Full Review The Crime of Monsieur Lange (1936) 100% EDIT “For a film so resolute in its efforts to portray an idealized community based on mutuality and shared concern, in the end, Le Crime de Monsieur Lange sends us careening.” – PopMatters Nov 16, 2017 Full Review George Crumb: Voice of the Whale (1976) 2/10 EDIT “It all goes nowhere and if you are not already a devotee of Crumb's music, this film is not likely to convert you. If you are, this film may give you reasons to reconsider-never a good sign.” – PopMatters Aug 18, 2016 Full Review Lee Scratch Perry's Vision of Paradise (2015) 40% 2/10 EDIT “There's doubtless a way one could produce a filmic account of Perry's eccentric vision that is respectful and illuminating, but Schaner's paternalistic approach strikes me as misguided-and a little cruel.” – PopMatters Aug 2, 2016 Full Review Aristide and the Endless Revolution (2005) 92% 6/10 EDIT “The fascinating thing about this particular documentary is that, despite its ostensible subject (the eponymous deposed president), the film engages the more important and pressing issues that underlie Aristide's presidency and his removal.” – PopMatters Nov 23, 2015 Full Review
