For the second time in a little over 48 hours I find myself confronted by a film that is so much an expression of its director's artistic manifesto that its identity is difficult to remove from his own. Terry Gilliam, like Tarantino, asks his audience to buy into his ethos: to accept that the film he is presenting is not necessarily going to be a commercial or critical success, but that it remains true to what he has set out to achieve across his whole canon of work. In that respect the film does not disappoint- Gilliam creates a familiar dream-scape mixed with garish pallet and sweeping surrealist bursh-strokes, and he doesnt go as far as letting such a trivial thing as the traditions of narrative get in the way. For this director at least, the story is merely a way for the audience to buy into Gilliam's imagined world, to marvel at his artistic vision, and allow themselves to be taken over by the escapist fantasy of the film. The fact of the matter is, even the most ardent Gilliam fan couldnt really tell you what Brazil is about, or offer any kind of evaluation of Fear ...]]></description>

Review by Michael Kaminski

The life of Alexander the Great is such an ambitious and complicated subject matter that it would seem nearly impossible to translate it into a motion picture; the many sides to his personality, the vast cast of characters in his life, the complex political context he existed in, the immense scale of his life, and the uncountable deeds he did, tangled in a web of ambiguities, contradicting history, controversy and necessary interpretation. But if there is one person adept at tackling ambitious subject matter, it is Oliver Stone. Particularly suited to Alexander, he was in fact intimately familiar with the subject matter, having held a life-long personal interest in Alexander the Great. He sought to bring to the screen a portrait of the man that examined his personal life, without censorship, but that was also meticulously detailed and historically accurate, and on a scale that had been seldom seen in even the ...]]></description>
