Star Wars: The Clone Wars

This boxy computer-animated adaptation of the “Clone Wars” videogame is all battle and no myth, and overarching myth is what drove the Star Wars franchise. The action scenes should be the picture’s calling card, yet most are noisy and relentless, full of charging armies making advances, then falling back and vice versa. If it weren’t for the laser cannons and light sabers, you might think you were watching Gettysburg (which is also a video game, by the way).

Drama Rated NR

“… a scrappy, neo-realist tale of societal scrounging that’s paused by poetic moments of slow cinema.”

Tropical Malady (2004)

Drama Rated NR

“Unusually sensitive, in the sense that every element seems to pulse with its own life force. . .”
