The Princess and the Warrior (2000, 130 min., R)
German director Tom Tykwer's third film to secure a U.S. arthouse release is closer in spirit to 1997's claustrophobic Winter Sleepers than the hyperactive (and more popular) Run Lola Run (1999). The latter was pure kineticism, ...

There's zero fat on the bone in this stunning Japanese action import.

Prisoner of the Mountains (1996, 98 min., NR)

Rosamund Pike captures war journalist Marie Colvin
Problem Child 2 (1991, 91 min., PG-13)

Julio Torres channels dreams of toys, art, and immigration
