American Friends (1991)
A wonderful and gentle film
Michael Palin shows that he has grown beyond his Monty Python days, but he has not left them far behind. His droll portrayal of an Oxford fellow, one who must avoid marriage at all costs, is sheer delight. He meets and cannot avoid falling in love with an American woman, but it is the depth and sincerity of his love that surprises him and us. The cinematography is stunning in Switzerland, and all dark days and wooden paneling in Oxford, in both cases conveying a metaphor for Palin's interior struggle. Wonderful and gentle.
Dark City (1998)
A dark, haunting, powerful film -- terrific
"Dark City" is one of the most powerful films of 1998. It is dark, haunting, and completely engaging. The film is a visual masterpiece, everything is a combination of shadows and light. The image of the city that comes near the end of the film is one of the most creative and new images in recent history. This is a terrific, thoughtful, and moving film.
