Filmmakers have taken the idea of prison theatricals and fashioned it into an attractive yet only superficially thought-provoking semi-docu.
Diaz: Don't Clean Up This Blood
Though absolutes should generally be avoided, it's safe to say "Diaz: Don't Clean Up This Blood" breaks the record for most truncheon beatings in one movie.
Tabu
Even more than in "Our Beloved Month of August," Miguel Gomes begins "Tabu" in a seemingly ridiculous vein and unexpectedly shifts to something surprisingly enriching and poetic.
Jayne Mansfield's Car
Age-old clashes between fathers and sons are the rusty engine parts that drive "Jayne Mansfield's Car," a wheezy, schematic ensembler centered around two families in 1969 Alabama.
