We're nearly halfway through the year, and so far 2009 hasn't offered much in the way of well-crafted movie pleasure. Thank goodness, then, for Duplicity<\/em>, the new film by Michael Clayton<\/em> writer\/director Tony Gilroy<\/a>. Essentially an airtight yarn of spy-vs.-spy game-playing, it's the smartest, sexiest movie to be released this year, and features some of the wittiest dialogue in recent memory. To say that it's \"well-written\" may seem like faint praise, but nowadays movies blessed with such a virtue are practically anomalous. Ragtag's pull-quote for the DVD release: \"It's the most fun we've had at the movies all year!\"<\/p>\n

Also opening today is Tokyo!<\/em>, a new triptych of mini city symphonies from three of the most unusual and talented directors on the international movie scene, modern-day surrealist Michel Gondry, horror-master Bong-joon Ho, and French obscurity Leos Carax<\/a>. Carax's short stars Denis Lavant<\/a> doing what he does best<\/a>. Watch the trailer<\/a> for a taste.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
