At Eternity's Gate (2018)



A look at the life of painter Vincent van Gogh during the time he lived in Arles and Auvers-sur-Oise, France.

Intense. captivating and thorough analysis  of the artist's personality and art; Willem Dafoe's extraordinary performance makes it even more convincing.

Chéri (2009)



The son of a courtesan retreats into a fantasy world after being forced to end his relationship with the older woman who educated him in the ways of love.

Good production value and a worthy cast hardly prevent that the result is only vaguely compelling and somewhat sterile.

Maltin**: "...but this costume dramma...goes awry...Bates stretches patience as Chéri's mother, but Pfeiffer still has enough aging luminosity to suggest what the movie might have been."
