Indochine

Catherine Deneuve, Vincent Perez

Sony Pictures, 2000

Magnificent movie
This is definitely one of the best movie Catherine Deneuve made in her very long career. I enjoy watching it time after time.

The Musketeer

Jean-Pierre Castaldi, Tsila Chelton

Universal Studios, 2002

I'm man enough to stick up for this movie
Since there is alot of people putting tis movie down I'm man enough to say it was a good movie. Mabey not as good as The 3 Musketeers but I'll say it's a close second. Yeah mabey the acting was not the greatest from some people but it's still better than some done by ...

The Umbrellas of Cherbourg

José Bartel, Michel Benoist

KOCH LORBER FILMS, 2004

Masterpiece That Stands the Test of Time
"The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" is a one-of-a-kind movie. All of the lines are sung, to a beautiful score, but there are no traditional character solos, chorus numbers, or choreography. So it's not your average musical. The closest thing to a "show-stopper" in the movie ...

Persepolis [Blu-ray]

Chiara Mastroianni, Catherine Deneuve

Sony Pictures, 2008

Spellbinding!
The DVD was every bit as good as the book. Like most Americans who were well tuned into the Iranian hostage crisis, I had an extremly dim view of that country. Now, I understand that there is far more to Iran, that there are actually many decent people there.

Repulsion

Catherine Deneuve, Helen Fraser

ENTERTAINMENT PROGRAMS INC., 2005

Excellent Film
I really do understand why a lot of people don't like this movie. I really feel sorry for them, however. This is a very slow movie that rides it's suspense. The acting was excellent, Catherine Deneuve makes you want to grab her and scream what the hell is wrong with ...

Persepolis

Belle de Jour

Francis Blanche, Claude Cerval

Miramax, 2002

Great movie but get the Region 2 DVD, it's worth it!
I've seen both versions and although I have to watch my Region 2 DVD on my computer (all you need is to download a program like AnyDVD that allows you to watch other region DVDs), it's worth it. 16:9 anamorphic, great sound, clear picture and it's an anniversary ...

The Hunger

Catherine Deneuve, David Bowie

Warner Home Video, 2004

Slash... Glub... Slurp...
THE HUNGER is one of the best vampire movies around. The mysterious, bloodsucking Blaylocks (Catherine Deneuve as Miriam and David Bowie as John) live a non-life of luxury and debauched serial-murder / feeding. Doctor Sarah Roberts (Susan Sarandon) gets mixed up w/ the ...

The Domino Principle/March or Die

Gene Hackman, Terence Hill

Lions Gate, 2006

Forgotten Gem
This review is of the second feature of this double feature disk 'March or Die' with Gene Hackman and Terrance Hill. A friend of mine mentioned that he saw this movie about 30 years ago when I was just a kid. I never saw it until just now. Let me start with a minor ...

The Young Girls of Rochefort

René Bazart, Dorothée Blank

Miramax, 2002

an overlooked masterpiece
I just had to pitch in on this one. I'm a bit of a film geek, and have watched plenty of them. I'd say this movie is one of my personal favorites - definitely in the top five. No kidding. It serves the vital function of reminding me, when I need to be, that life can be ...

Pola X

Guillaume Depardieu, Yekaterina Golubeva

Fox Lorber, 2001

Must-see French cinema: Carax's Pola X.
"Faithful readers will know I have an affection for raving lunatics," Roger Ebert says about Carax's Pola X, "and am grateful for films that break free of the dismal bonds of formula to cartwheel into overwrought passionate excess." Carax (1960) is an acquired ...

Rudolf verbally spars with his father Emperor Franz-Josef (James Mason) about wanting to implement progressive policies ...

8 Women

Danielle Darrieux, Catherine Deneuve

Universal Studios, 2003

A mystery story worthy of Hitchcock
I really enjoyed this movie. It is a thriller/mystery where a murder has been committed and it is plain that it has to be one of 8 women, but who exactly. Everyone appears to have a good reason to have committed the act and the accusations, jealousies and intrigues are ...
