Ebert's reviews

[fiefoe]

"Schultze Gets the Blues"
__ It is essentially the record of a man who sets himself into motion and is amazed by the results.

"Hustle & Flow"
__ To create something out of your own mind and talent and see that it is good: That is a joy that makes the rest of his life seem shabby and transparent.

"Pride & Prejudice"
__ It is frustrating enough when one person refuses to fall in love, but when both refuse, we cannot rest until they kiss.

"The White Countess"
__ They have been operating their own perfect little bar since 1963. Outside it is Hollywood, and the world is hurrying toward commerce and compromise. Inside their bar, cosmopolitan characters, elegant and tragic, have wandered out of the pages of good books; what many share is a personal style employed to conceal wounds, lusts and disappointments.
__ They have catered for a literate minority. If you have read this far, they have catered for you.
__ What we do is sit and watch them try to live up to their standards in a world that simply doesn't care.
