...Here, then, was a film that upended narrative, set a new tempo for serious movies and aspired not to theater but to painting. The combination of these innovations, or affronts, made L'Avventura a precedent-setting movie. So did the fierce debate surrounding it. Indeed, you could say that at that Cannes festival - as the professionals loved or hated, puzzled and argued over this beautiful, forbidding artifact - modernist cinema was born...
...Fault,” which features indie darlings Grizzly Bear.

Hut Fuzz gets many of its laughs the laying on of a Joel Silver hyped-up editing tempo and a macho drum-machine soundtrack to punctuate the interrogation of underage tipplers and the issuing of parking tickets...
