    My Architect
    The result is an immensely enjoyable portrait of a strange-looking, non-comforming genius who loved women as much as designing masterpieces but was never able to commit to them. In other words: great architect, lousy family man.

    Grin Without a Cat
    A remarkable 179-minute meditation on the nature of revolution.

    The Devil's Miner
    Guaranteed to leave you outraged at the way children - and, for that matter, adults - are exploited by mining companies.

    You, the Living
    Andersson has a one-of-a-kind style that not all viewers will appreciate. His humor is not at all like Hollywood’s. His is leisurely and cerebral — two words never heard in La La Land.

    Ballets Russes
    The documentary traces the fiery history of Ballets Russes -- which for a time consisted of two warring companies.

    Hell and Back Again
    Dennis refuses to push a political agenda down viewers' throats. But the message of his film -- a breathlessly paced look at the realities of war -- is clear: War and its aftermath are indeed hell.

    The Sea Is Watching
    The screen comes alive only at the end, when a frightening tornado destroys the seaside village.

    Faat Kiné
    A youthful, and often funny, piece of filmmaking. You might never expect that its director is 73 years old.

    The World
    Jia's message is that globalization has failed to help the Chinese masses. We hear you, dude, but did you really need 143 minutes to get your point across?

    Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry
    Ai is his country's most celebrated avant-garde artist - he's had shows around the world, including in New York, where he lived as a student - and China's most outspoken dissident.

    Encounters at the End of the World
    Encounters may lack the power of, say, the Herzog doc "Grizzly Man," because it has no bigger-than-life character at its nexus, but it does confirm the filmmaker as an iconoclastic master.

    The Turin Horse
    A sumptuous masterpiece by one of the greatest moviemakers of all time.

    Kisses
    In an effective touch, Kisses opens in black and white, changes into color for its Dublin scenes, then returns to monochrome.

    Life, Translated
    A sweet comedy with a bright cast and few surprises, the film did well in China, where it was aimed at teenagers. Since Hilary Duff isn't in the cast, its success probably won't cross over to America.

    Czech Dream

    The Boss of It All
    Funny is not a word often used to describe von Trier's output, but "Boss" definitely is that, thanks to a breezy script and a bright cast.

    The Sleeping Beauty
    This film is no fairy tale for children. Not only does it contain nudity and sex, both straight and lesbian, but it also presents childhood as a time of terror.

    Lorna's Silence
    The androgynous Dobroshi is in nearly every scene. She has an exceptional screen presence that brings authority to her portrayal of a woman seeking redemption. As for the Dardennes, they prove yet again that nobody does human frailty the way they do.
