CloseQuadrophenia
Franc Roddam
thedel: “The HD sound track carries this now cliched story of teenage warfare between mods and rockers. Sting's debut. A 60's movie filmed late 70's. ”

CloseLonesome
Paul Fejos

CloseThe Secret of the Grain
Abdellatif Kechiche
thedel: “An unexpected gem. A discarded older worker decides to chase his dream in the face of age, vandals, and a snotty french bureaucracy. Couscous!”

CloseCertified Copy
Abbas Kiarostami

CloseThe Third Man
Carol Reed

CloseLate Spring
Yasujiro Ozu
