A Dirty Shame
[STARS 1]
Director John Waters's latest campy scandle is about a Baltimore neighborhood overrun by sexual fetishists, It's awful: lots of farcical energy, wriggling bodies and carnal hooting. Like a triple-X Benny Hill. (NC-17)
Infernal Affairs
[STARS 3]
In a complex police thriller from Hong Kong, a dedicated cop (Tony Leung) goes deep undercover as a gangster at the same time that a gangster (Andy Lau) infiltrates the cops. Which one will be exposed first? This psychological crime drama is a nail-biter, right to its emotionally potent end. (R)
Red Lights
[STARS 3]
A mousy Parisian bureaucrat, driving to the country with his hotshot lawyer wife, decides to go on an alcoholic bender en route. He winds up with a fugitive for a passenger. A superlative thriller, quietly sinister and, against all odds, quietly moving. (Not rated)
