...City and Rififi. And when that film was briefly released in theaters in 2000, it won a special award from the New York Film Critics Circle. Yet a bunch of Dassin's major Euro-pix, including He Who Must Die, The Law and Phaedra, and his late-60s urban drama Up Tight!, remain unavailable on DVD.

With the emergence of Barack Obama we have been vindicated. His candidacy has put the issue of race into the 21st century much in the same way that...
That's where Scorsese is king. His Hollywood films may be sprawling, but his best docs feel both organic and perfectly condensed. No Direction Home, even at 31/2 hr., seems the ideal length to capture the gentle, questing mood of early-'60s folk and Dylan's rapid rise to eminence...
