All is Lost

Can a film with a cast of one, very little dialogue and the endless blue sea as its sole location keep you nailed to your seat for one hour and 45 minutes? The answer is yes, if it’s directed by J.C. Chandor.

Can a film with a cast of one, very little dialogue and the endless blue sea as its sole location keep you nailed to your seat for one hour and 45 minutes? The answer is yes, if it’s directed by J.C. Chandor.

This fascinating nautical adventure, telling the story of one sailor’s desperate fight for survival, lost in the middle of the ocean, defies all expectations to become a top contender in the man Vs nature genre. 77-year-old Robert Redford is utterly magnetic in what is admittedly one of the best and most physically and mentally demanding performances of his career, delivering a one-man-show that ought to sweep every major prize during awards season. L.K.

    The Great Beauty

    The Great Beauty

    Operatic in dimensions with definite references to Federico Fellini's ?La Dolce Vita?, Paolo Sorrentino's new film soars across the big screen as an authentic audiovisual delirium, a whirlwind of people, places and events in a vivid kaleidoscope of human behavior.
