Sure, enough time has passed to ensure gangster movies released during the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s are now classics (see The Godfather, Scarface, and Goodfellas respectively), but what about before then? Going back say 60 years or more shows that the genre thrived earlier than what some may expect, with noteworthy movies about organized crime made in both Hollywood and outside of it as far back as the 1920s and ‘30s.

The acid Western is a revisionist subgenre that blends the traditional elements of Westerns with the surreal, psychedelic, and countercultural themes of the 1960s and '70s. This was an era where authority was called into question by events like the Vietnam War; themes that shine through strongly in most acid Westerns. Unlike the classics of the genre, which tend to glorify frontier life and rugged individualism, the acid Western usually deconstructs these myths, presenting a darker, more disillusioned view of the Old West.

I love Martin Scorsese so much. His endless knowledge of cinema history is envious, and I am constantly looking to him for inspiration. Truly, I thought I had watched all the coolest Scorsese clips online until I heard about this commercial he shot in the style of Alfred Hitchcock. Yes, you heard that right, Martin Scorsese directed a short film for the Spanish sparkling wine producer Freixenet, titled "The Key to Reserva," in 2007, and he did it as an homage to Hitchcock.

The Spanish director Víctor Erice is one of our most revered, yet least prolific, European filmmakers. Over the past 50 years or so, he’s directed just four features, starting with his masterful debut, The Spirit of the Beehive. That movie was a haunting family drama set in 1940,...

Referring to any film as an “arthouse project” can be disingenuous, as it implies that only works of cinema that are sufficiently strange and obtuse are worthy of being classified as being prestigious. The truth is that any films that fall outside of the typical classification of mainstream cinema can be labeled as arthouse; these can sometimes be harrowing dramas, but they can also be satirical comedies or terrifying horror films. It is in the best interest of cinephiles everywhere to constantly challenge themselves by seeking out films that don’t align with their tastes.

We talk a lot about “capturing a moment.” It’s an oddly aggressive term, but one that conveys urgency, necessity. And there is an urgency to capture the moment, the way of life, the particular cadence of the everyday, that Haitian-American director Monica Sorelle captures in her distinguished debut feature, “Mountains.” It’s one of IndieWire’s favorite films from Tribeca 2023 and last year’s fall festival season, and now finally getting a release in 2024. More than capturing it, though, Sorelle holds this moment in a warm, loving embrace.Giovanni Ribisi Turns to Cinematography for 'Strange Darling' -- and Creates a Modern Horror Masterpiece
