EEPHUS is now streaming on @mubiusa. For all its regional specifics, this is also a bittersweet elegy for America’s favorite pastime, a slow-fading comedy about life distilled between motion and stasis —about transience, passage, and ritual. One of the best films of the year.

Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s CLOUD is awesome. A tense thriller about internet resellers that takes a crazy turn about halfway through. A better movie about How We Live Today than a lot of other films that aspire to the title. vulture.com/article/review…
