Spy vs Spy
Better than average Cold War "Spy vs. Spy" thriller....good cast and story line.......Caution...much of the background conversations are in foreign languages...French, Russian, etc....there are subtitles but don't expect all the dialog to be in English....otherwise ...
Mississippi Mermaid

Catherine Deneuve
MGM (Video & DVD), 2001
One of Truffaut's best...
I'm a huge fan of french new wave, especially Goddard and Truffaut- this is one of Truffaut's very best. Here he combines romance, passion, and suspense like no other director could. Catherine Deneuve and Jean-Paul Belmondo have always given excellant performances, and ...
Monsieur Vincent

Lions Gate, 2008
Monsieur Vincent
An old, unretouched film- just as I remember it. A moving portrayal of a man who's name is a household word, but who's life is largely unknown. It drives home the fact, relentlessly, that if the burden of poverty is great, the burden of those who seek to remedy it is ...

"In Search of Perfect Sound"
This is a review of the bonus feature documentary interview with Jordi Savall, "In Search of Perfect Sound" which accompanies this disc. I have watched this interview a number of times over the past few years and I am always inspired by it and take something new from ...

Love this movie
I really enjoyed this movie, and have been looking for the soundtrack for years! Will say this though--it's better to watch with the subtitles, with the original actors' voices. Jean Reno does his voice in the dubbed version though so if all you can find is the ...
The Eye of Vichy
Michel Bouquet,
Brian Cox
FIRST RUN FEATURES, 2003
A nation without shame
Admittedly this film is propaganda produced during an occupation by fascist Germany, but it is very educational in explaining why more Americans were probably killed by the French during WWII than were saved by them. But this film shows us what the Vichy government was ...
The Bride Wore Black
Jeanne Moreau
, Michel Bouquet
MGM (Video & DVD), 1999
A wonderful Hitchcockian black comedy of murder and revenge by Truffaut, starring Jeanne Moreau
Truffaut said The Bride Wore Black was his homage to Hitchcock. A great homage it is, with that Bernard Herrmann score, murderous psychological ambiguity, bad things happening on warm, sunlit days and a complex -- and looney -- main character. Think of it as a black ...

Bernard Blier
Fox Lorber, 1998
A buñuelian film noir
In the best tradition of the sarcasticc, ironic and devasting spirit of Luis Buñuel's filmography (and obviously a Billy Wilder's touch), the film runs by its own with a masterful plot brilliant travels and remarkable performances. Blier made a film absolutely free of ...
My Father and I
Michel Bouquet,
Charles Berling
New Yorker Video, 2004
Fascinatingly bold, provocative view of Dysfunctional Family
If you like to become so involved in a film that you feel as though you are inside the minds of the actors and the writer and the atmosphere of a film, then MY FATHER AND I is definitely a classic film to treasure. On the other hand, if you favor stories that are ...
Night and Fog - Criterion Collection
Michel Bouquet,
Reinhard Heydrich
Criterion, 2003
A caveat . . .
I've noted that a number of reviewers mention seeing Night and Fog in a high school class. I think one would have to be very careful about using this film in high school. This is not simply because it is very graphic. If it is the ONLY film about the Holocaust that ...
The Gerard Depardieu Collection (Tous Les Matins du Monde / The Count of Monte Cristo / Changing Times)

Gérard Depardieu
Koch Lorber Films, 2007
An escellent buy!
This is a Depardieu combination-plate guaranteed to please the entire family. TOUS LES MATINS DU MONDE is a fable about two masters of the viola da gamba de Coulombe and Marrais: gorgeous music and lots of imagination. THE COUNT OF MONTECRISTO has always remain a ...

Finally !
My only previous viewing, of this incredible film has been a very poor quality video tape, released by MPV, Motion Pictures on Video in 1987 and running ninety minutes. Having read about this work in an encyclopedia of Horror cinema, nothing could have prepared me for ...
The Kimstim Collection: Cop au Vin
Jean Poiret

Stéphane Audran
Kino Video, 2005
Cop Au Vin
More aptly titled "Poulet Au Vinaigre" (Chicken With Vinegar) in France, this quintessential Chabrol whodunit is indeed a pungently sour portrayal of the deadly intrigues that can hatch in seemingly close-knit, placid communities. Extremely well-played, with Poiret a ...
Who's Got the Black Box?
Michel Bouquet,
Steve Eckhardt
Pathfinder Home Ent., 2005
The Road to Ridicule
The Road to Corinth aka Who's Got the Black Box is an unashamedly ridiculous film that just happened to catch me in exactly the right frame of mind. This French spy spoof from 1967 sees Claude Chabrol in surprisingly playful mood and Jean Seberg once again ...
La Rupture
Stéphane Audran
,
Jean-Pierre Cassel
Pathfinder Home Ent., 2003
Hmmm... That summary leaves a bit to be desired...
Excellent Chabrol film --- probably the best introduction to the director. I'm suprised and very happy that this is out on video at a sell-through price. For some inexplicable reason, no one seems to talk much about this film. It's extremely absorbing and quite ...
