Features
Daddy Cool
Bully, Larry Clark's controversial follow-up to kids, focuses on a posse of bored, doped-up teen killers. But is the director more interested in his protagonists' young bodies than in their minds, asks James Mottram.
Family Album
Wes Anderson's dysfunctional family saga The Royal Tenenbaums is even more audaciously eccentric than Rushmore. Jonathan Romney teases out the wealth of seductively contrived imagery that makes it such a magnificent oddity.
The Big Hurt
Michael Mann's portrait of Muhammad Ali focuses on political history and popular culture as well as boxing. But is his film The Greatest, asks Adrian Wootton.
Blood Meridian
Walter Salles' Behind the Sun transposes an Albanian blood-feud tale to the 1910 Brazilian badlands. The director describes its lusciously dramatic images to Nick James.
Obituaries
Last orders for 2001's roll of lost and lamented, plus tributes to Budd Boetticher and Burt Kennedy, Roy Boulting, Samuel Z. Arkoff and Jane Greer. Compiled by Bob Baker.
