	Philadelphia (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Philadelphia is a 1993 film drama revolving around the AIDS epidemic, written by Ron Nyswaner and directed by Jonathan Demme.
		The film was the second Hollywood big-budget, big-star film to tackle the issue of AIDS (following TV movie And the Band Played On) in America and also signaled a shift in the early 1990s for Hollywood films to have more realistic depictions of gay people.
		The DVD edition of the film, produced by Automat Pictures includes that scene and many of the principals discuss the criticisms leveled at the film.

	The Cinematheque - 2006 Philadelphia Film Festival
		A quiet, intense and brooding film, as one might suspect from the synopsis, The King is a veritable smorgasbord of unspoken familial angst; a quiet tale of loss and redemption.
		Filmed with such a lyrical beauty, Karin Albou's film about the nearly emotionally unbearable religious convictions of a family of Parisian Jews, manages to break free of any pedestrian clothing it may be wearing, and exert itself with an almost-to-boiling-point sexual awakening of both character and its own philosophy.
		The Brothers Quay (Philadelphia natives now working in the UK), along with their stylistic mentor (and subject of many an homage) Jan Svankmajer and the wildman of Winnipeg, Guy Maddin, have a certain aesthetic in their respective (and communal) filmmaking styles that give way to an assuagement of mythical slumber.
