It is The Age of Reason. Wednesday. The city is under siege by the Sultan. Attempting to forget their troubles and fears, the populace is packed into a theater, watching a traveling company enact The Adventures of Baron von Munchausen. In the middle of the performance, an elderly man cries out in protest, totters down the aisle and onto the stage, and claims that the play is a travesty; he claims to be the real Baron Munchausen (John Neville), and he's here to stop the players from spreading any more lies. Furthermore, he's the only one who can stop the war with the Sultan—because he's the one who started it. As the baron spins his tale, the lines between tale and truth, play and reality—even life and death—begin to blur, as he travels to the Moon, dances with a goddess, and is swallowed by a sea monster in his quest to save the besieged town. When the dust has finally settled and the Baron has ridden off into the sunset, no one is quite sure what has happened—including the viewing audience.

Gangs of New York may achieve greatness with the passage of time. Mixed reviews were inevitable for a production this grand (and this troubled behind the scenes), but it's as distinguished as any of director Martin Scorsese's more celebrated New York stories. From its astonishing 1846 prologue to the city's infernal draft riots of 1863, the film aspires to erase the decorum of textbooks and chronicle 19th-century New York as a cauldron of street warfare.

“

A movie spun out of equal parts folk tale, fable and real-life legend about the mysterious, 1930s Tennessee hermit who famously threw his own rollicking funeral party... while he was still alive. "Get Low" is very stylized. Set in the 1930s, the director and cinematographer paid attention to the lighting, casting shadows where they wanted them, providing a dark atmosphere when needed to echo the times of the depression-era. Humour is also stylized, it's dry, and it can take you a minute to make sure you got it right.
