Apr 23, 2015Ill-Fated Expedition to the North Pole/Ghosts of the Dead
On the face of it, this is not the most likely of films to be included – a depiction of the ill-fated true-life expedition to cross the North Pole in a dirigible in 1928 – but is for a wraparound wherein the survivor is judged by a tribunal of ghosts. A beautifully made and epical film

Nov 28, 2004Anthology of New York Tales/Giant Nagging Mother

Jan 26, 2013Ghost Story/Vampire Film
Francis Ford Coppola makes what may be a ghost story or a vampire film but things are so confused you are never sure what. Less like the mature work of one of the great American filmmakers than an ingenue effort from director straight out of film school with a head full of muddled pretensions
