"Beautifully shot and brimming with humour alongside well-handled social commentary and a little poetry and philosophy, Dead Man surely nestles among my favourite Jarmusch films and casts doubt on my initial ‘hit and miss’ assessment of the director." - DB

"The characters are all larger than life, but their story is gripping, and what Kurosawa achieves through his pacing and his comedy is a lightness that has made the film one of the most important and influential action films of world cinema." - Catherine Russell

The Hidden Fortress: Three Good Men and a Princess
In addition to technical brilliance and a humanist message, Akira Kurosawa’s adventure features one of the director’s strongest female characters.

Review: 12 Monkeys - Cineluxe
Terry Gilliam's most successful attempt to work within the system, this apocalyptic thriller proved to be prescient—but not just for the expected reasons.

Nipples! Nipples! burning bright
In the holodeck of Enterprise,
What immortal eye or soul
Could bear to see or hear Worf's cries?
When the stars threw down their spears,
And water'd heaven with their tears,
Did they not hear Worf's cries
as his nipples lit up the night?
In the holodeck of Enterprise,
What immortal eye or soul
Could bear to see or hear Worf's cries?
When the stars threw down their spears,
And water'd heaven with their tears,
Did they not hear Worf's cries
