The stock noir constituents of nefarious criminal deeds, male existential malaise and bluesy chiaroscuro mise-en-scène comprise this violently brooding latest from Hungarian doyen of the slow-cooked metaphorical saga, Béla Tarr. The story centres on Maloin (Miroslav Krobot), a brusque railway switchman who appropriates a suitcase full of banknotes after he witnesses a bungled drop-off on [...]

It has been four years since the Men in Bad averted an intergalactic disaster; Kay (Tommy Lee Jones) has returned to civilian life, working in a small collection-office and has no memory of the days when he was an agent. But when Agent Jay (Will Smith) uncovers a diabolical thread masterminded by Serleena (Lara Flynn [...]

His standing is a everlasting conclusion to Eugenia and her formidable sister Aunt [...]
