n eight years and three films, Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky have examined what happens when American justice and the lower societal strata collide, with results at once shocking and powerfully moving.

The documentary on the Sex Pistols, "The Filth and the Fury," set against the backdrop of economically depressed England and a fear-laden political atmosphere, is eye, ear and brain candy for historians and rockophiles alike.

With "Flowers of Shanghai," director Hou Hsiao-hsien has refined realism into the ultimate artifice, demonstrating that the elusive bloom of love is inevitably crushed by our elaborate means of possessing it.

Also, reviews of "The Road to El Dorado," "Show Me Love," "Black and White," and more.
