Todd Hayne's impressionistic biopic of the legendary Bob Dylan sees no fewer than six actors portray the icon in a series of vignettes reflecting his life and work. Marcus Carl Franklin plays an 11-year-old who passes himself off as a reincarnated Woody Guthrie; Christian Bale plays Jack Rollins, a young folk singer starting to become affected by political issues; Cate Blanchett plays Jude Quinn, a version of Dylan at the height of his fame in the 1960s; Heath Ledger stars as Robbie Clark, a fictional Hollywood actor, best-known for starring in a film about Jack Rollins (Bale's character); finally, Richard Gere portrays the older Dylan as an aging Billy the Kid in a Wild West town. Perhaps unexpectedly, Cate Blanchett is the best of the bunch, capturing Dylan's physicality as well as his spirit.

With cinematography by Karl Freund, a virtuoso performance by Emil Jannings and innovative direction from F W Murnau, this tale of an eminent doorman whose world crumbles when he is demoted to lavatory attendant is one of the finest artistic triumphs of the silent era. It is a landmark work on a number of fronts. Firstly, it introduced a method of purely visual storytelling in which all intertitles and dialogue were jettisoned, setting the stage for a seamless interaction between film-world and viewer. Secondly, it put to use a panoply of technical innovations that continue to point distinct ways forward for cinematic expression nearly a century later. It guides the silent cinema's melodramatic brio to its lowest abject abyss — before disposing of the tragic arc altogether. The lesson in all this? That a film can be anything it wants to be. Murnau's film depicts the tale of an elderly hotel doorman (played by the inimitable Emil Jannings) whose superiors have come to deem his s...

David Lynch's Mulholland Drive provides a memorably dark trip through the flipside of Hollywood. As ingenue Naomi Watts slowly makes sense of amnesiac moll Laura Elena Harring, on the other side of town, black-clad director Justin Theroux is being pressured by entertainment industry heavies into casting a mystery actress in his new movie. The first hour-and-a-half is as funny and as scary as an episode of Twin Peaks, but in an instant, the characters shuffle roles and we start to watch a film in negative, the flipside of the entertainment industry: perennial losers turn winners, and the once bold and beautiful become overnight tragic heroines. Those who choose to stay outside the dream factory - the pimps, killers and derelicts - remain as they were, untouched by fame.

Of Make Way for Tomorrow, Orson Welles told Peter Bogdanovich: Oh my God that's the saddest movie ever made. Long unavailable for home viewing, Leo McCarey's personal favourite among all his films (which included The Awful Truth and An Affair to Remember) is sad, yes, but it also stands as cathartic affirmation of the dignity of human feeling, and in the testament of such achieves a subtle complexity of characterization on par with Renoir, Ford, and Hawks.Victor Moore and Beulah Bondi, two of the great Hollywood character actors, appear makeup-aged beyond their actual years to portray the couple whose house the bank has foreclosed upon (the film was set and produced in the midst of the Great Depression), and who are forced subsequently to move into their children's homes in the city. A near-musical restructuring of gratitude and debt ensues once the offspring deem the couple's lodging an imposition: the two are separated, then reunited weeks later... as they glide inexorably into an uncert...
