In the politically fraught climate of Chicago in 1968, two young nuns crisscross the city in order to ask strangers the question, “Are you happy?” The answers vary: “Happiness is the absence of fear,” “Avoiding people,” “Raspberries,” “Joy in knowing Christ.” They meet a lonely girl, a happy mother, young lovers, hippie musicians, a sociologist and even character actor Stepin Fetchit. The humor and sadness of these honest encounters lift the film beyond its conceit into a serious and moving inquiry into contemporary society and the circumstances under which people examine their lives.Read More »

Though undeniably an exercise in style over substance from the opening frames, Tony Scott’s languid exercise in gothic vampirism may disappoint those with little patience for arty overindulgence, though those with a taste for slow-burning decay may find The Hunger an involving study in the desperation for love and eternal youth. Vampire enthusiasts and Ann Rice followers drawn to the more romantic aspects of the mythology will likewise succumb to Catherine Deneuve’s seductive menace and David Bowie’s otherworldly charismatic performance, with Susan Sarandon offering a compelling turn as a doctor drawn in to the dark underworld while attempting to halt the vampiric Bowie’s rapidly accelerated aging process.
