Fuse Film Review: “In the Shadow of Women” — Stuck In the Shades of Depression

In the Shadow of Women is obviously meant to be a throwback/homage to the French New Wave cinema of the early to mid-1960s.

Fuse Film Review: “History of Fear” — From Argentina, At High Volume

Film Review: “Voice Over” — It’s All in the Chilean Family

Despite Philip’s self-absorbed claptrap, young, successful women seem to be drawn to him. Go figure.
