	Art film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Art film provides similar kinds of cinematic illusion that one finds in classical Hollywood cinema as well as allusions to previous periods in cinematic history.
		The most successful American producer and distributor of art films is Miramax Films, which began in 1979 as a studio for the distribution of independent films which were deemed commercially unviable at the major studios.
		The term "art film" (usually with scare quotes) is sometimes used derisively as a euphemism for pornography (or, in effect, for films containing any amount of nudity).

	Art House - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	House of Flying Daggers Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		Yet with the surprise boxoffice hit Hero and his latest, House of Flying Daggers, the Oscar-nominated writer/director of Ju Dou and Raise the Red Lantern has effectively reinvented himself as the auteur of action for the art-house film circuit.

		His films (along with international hit Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) redefine the martial-arts movie; stylish, elegant, character-driven films that give plenty of art-house appeal to breathtaking action segments.

	CANOE -- JAM! Movies - House Of Sand Review - 'House Of Sand' a beautiful Brazilian drama
		Essentially a dramatic saga within an art-house film, The House Of Sand tells the story of two Brazilian women who find themselves living in extremely difficult conditions in the middle of nowhere at the turn of the century.

		The House Of Sand is in Portuguese with English sub-titles.

	IslamOnline - Art & Entertainment Section (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
		The film, playing this month in New York as part of the Lincoln Center’s Films from along the Silk Road series, is a fresh approach to a tired genre that highlights the stylistic, surreally magical approach taken by numerous Central Asian films.
		Khamraev relies on over-the-top acting from its young actors, pseudo-kitschy film techniques and juxtaposition of the innocence of childhood with the cruel nature of Uzbek countryside life to create a unique, odd story.
		In this post-Soviet era when the Central Asian film industry has begun to flourish, Uzbekistan (and Khamraev) is the old guard of the business.

	Amelie, best French film I've seen in years... - Thread
		A film that is such a sensuous and vital celebration of life's dramas that we emerge from the theatre with our love of cinema and love of life equally affirmed.
		His previous films include "Delicatessen" and "The City Of Lost Children", both of which married a visionary approach to cinema with a surreal, almost fairy-tale method of storytelling.
		Suffice to say, "Amelie" is a richly textured film that is one of the most delightful and surprising cinema experiences I have had for a long time.

	Independent, Art-House and Foreign movie Reviews
		Those of us who enjoy Independent, Foreign, and Art House films can find it difficult to get to see our favorite movies, often having to content ourselves with annual film festivals or driving a long way to a theater that specializes in art house movies.

		Because of my personal love of art house film, I have started to put together this catalog of art house and foreign movie recommendations, and also some general release movies that have cinematic merit.

		House of No More is the third and final part of a conceptual trilogy of 'Real-Time Film' begun with the works Shelf Life and Flicker.
		In this last part, the performance starts with the reenactment of a crime experienced by "Julia", a woman who thrusts herself on screen in her quest for her missing child.
		The story of House of No More, as with all the parts of Real-Time Film, is not told through the devices of conventional dialogue and narrative, but across an extended field of meaning in which the method of delivery contaminates the message.

	Is It Curtains For Art-Film Producers? - art-house divisions of Hollywood studios move away from low-budget pictures - ...
		Theater chains, desperate to pull back from the financial brink, are steadily phasing out all but the blockbuster films on which they make the most profits.
		In the not-too-distant past, the major arthouse divisions seemed to be all over the place, attending every key film festival around the world in a frenzied attempt to acquire independent movies, which they would then release through their own distribution machines.
		Distributors like Miramax Films, Fine Line Features and Fox Searchlight Pictures have been slashing the number of films they buy, and focusing on bigger-budget films with good marketing hooks -- like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," made for a relatively comfortable $12 million to 15 million, and "Traffic," a big-budget drama saturated with stars.

		The film creates a palpable feeling of tension, where you don't know what to expect next.
		A true testament of the well sturctured nature of the film, is the fact that there are only four main characters, and they hold your attention till the very end.
		And in traditional film noir fanfare, all of these characters have some sort of sordid business to attend to.
