CloseBorder Radio
Allison Anders, Dean Lent and Kurt Voss

CloseBottle Rocket
Wes Anderson

CloseThe Darjeeling Limited
Wes Anderson

CloseFish Tank
Andrea Arnold
CSM126: “Tough, snarling, and profoundly angry. These words describe the main character equally as well as they do the movie. They're also both powerful.”

CloseBlast of Silence
Allen Baron
CSM126: “Cynical and deeply bitter and gritty as hell - This is one of my favorite Christmas movies because it refuses to romanticize the season at all.”

CloseBy Brakhage: An Anthology, Volumes One and Two
Stan Brakhage
CSM126: “Radical, free-form, transcendent, indescribable. These words all fit the works of Stan Brakhage. Awe-inspiring is a good fit, too.”

CloseFat Girl
Catherine Breillat
CSM126: “The usually steely-cold Breillat finds a warmer tone here, but without sacrificing her provocateur status. A tough and powerful film.”
