"No filmmaker gets under my skin more consistently than Fritz Lang, and while M lacks some of the paranoid extravagance of his silent fantasies, it is flawless. Peter Lorre ingeniously incarnates the evolution from lizard to man, and the director’s every shot and sound underscores the excitement of cinema in the process of discovering its own power. One of the disc’s extras finds Claude Chabrol unsuccessfully attempting to mimic a Lang camera move. The new Criterion print, with a corrected aspect ratio and restored fade-out line, burnishes the film’s deathless vitality."

Leaving Las Vegas (1995)
Leaving Las Vegas (1995)
1995 | Drama, Romance
Nic Cage gives a career best performance as a man with nothing left to live for and decides to drink himself to death in Vegas where he meets an unlikely love interest played by Elizabeth Shue.
Cage's performance is both remarkable and believable and truly portrays a man ready to die at all cost, swigging a bottle of alcohol at all times, including just before he passes out at bedtime, we soon see his health deteriorate as Shue (although agreeing to allow him kill himself) struggle as she is forced to watch him fade away. Astounding and startling performances.
