MR. MOJO RISIN'

NEW IN THEATRES...

* Valhalla Rising, a dream-like story of Vikings in the new world, directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, the guy who brought us Bronson. I liked it, but kind of can't figure out why. Playing Portland at Cinema 21 this week.

UPDATED TO CRITERION CONFESSIONS...

* L'enfance nue, a compelling story of a boy struggling through French foster care, circa 1968. From director Maurice Pialat.

Current Soundtrack: Emmanuelle Seigner, Dingue
