Curriculum Vitae
FILM REVIEWS
She Hate Me
Spike Lee has never been afraid of controversy or known for his consistency. Since "25th Hour" was a masterpiece of restrained filmmaking, it was inevitable that Spike Lee’s follow up "She Hate Me" would be disappointing and schizophrenic.
Bad Education
Some call his work eccentric; others call it weird for weird’s sake, but what is certain in "Bad Education" is that Pedro Almodovar is the master chronicler of homosexuality and destructive relationships. It's just a pity the film lacks heart, says Kevin Kriedemann.
