From Jurgen Fauth & Marcy Dermansky:
We love movies. They inform our view of the world, capture our imaginations. Foreign and independent films are particularly wonderful because of the intimate stories they tell -- from the heartbreaking and eccentric characters who live and breathe in our imaginations to the innovative filmmaking often absent from big studio productions. On this site, we review the best new film releases from around the world, plus noteworthy DVDs, film festival news, and more.
