Madame Bovary
Isabelle Huppert,
Jean-François Balmer
MGM (Video & DVD), 2002
Every sin demands a prize!
Madame Bovary is one of the most priceless examples of the Romantic literature that stands out among a group of related works in other countries. As a matter of fact, you may include Anna Karenina in Russia, Effie Briest in Germany and Tess in England. The common ...
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 ...

Heaven's Gate
Slow and plodding, but beautifully shot and well worth watching. Although I prefer more action in a western, I also realize that in reality, the "old west" consisted of a slow, plodding existence. (The so-called "REALITY" shows on TV need to take note - There is very ...
Ma Mere
Isabelle Huppert,
Louis Garrel
Tla, 2005
'You're my mother and my love.'
"Wrong is not what we're about to do. Wrong is wanting to survive it." There is one good reason to see Ma mère: Isabelle Huppert. Also known for her equally memorable performances in La Ceremonie, The Piano Teacher, and Gabrielle), as an actress Huppert has proven ...
The Bedroom Window
Steve Guttenberg

Elizabeth McGovern
Lions Gate, 2006
Paging Brian DePalma!
Isabelle Huppert and generic Steve Guttenberg prove incompatible costars in "The Bedroom Window," a cockamamie mystery that finds these bi-continentals drawn together like refrigerator magnets to styrofoam coolers. The lovers are supposed to be absolutely crazy ...
The Piano Teacher (Unrated Edition)
Isabelle Huppert,
Annie Girardot
Kino International, 2002
Strange, Indeed
This one mixes classical music and weird sexual perversion. I didn't know whether to chuckle or take it seriously. It is one of the more surreal movies you'll ever watch, debate or not about what it says about women and men. Very French, and by that I mean minimal, yet ...
Les Destinees
Emmanuelle Béart
,
Charles Berling
Fox Lorber, 2002
Love is everything
I read the reviews of quite a few people for this film and would like to comment on certain things omitted from their analysis. For starters, this is a movie about LIFE, so where to start with life? Pick a time zone for the beginning and end of the film. The comment of ...
I Heart Huckabees (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Jason Schwartzman
, Isabelle Huppert
20th Century Fox, 2005
definitely for a certain kind of viewer
I was just glowing after seeing this movie and I definitely dropped about 30 bucks to buy this as soon as it came out, and I guess you could say it was well worth the money because I watch it so often. Jude Law and Mark Wahlberg are so funny in this! I will admit that ...

A must for everyone.
Do not need to say why, buy it. This is a must for everyone. See, feel, and enjoy not only the photography, but also the life.

Criterion, 2001
A Magnificent, Murderous Black Comedy With Philippe Noiret and Isabelle Huppert
Lucien Cordier (Philippe Noiret) is the overweight, lazy, unshaven chief of police in Bourkassa, Senegal. It's 1938, and this French colony is a backwater of dust, flies and dysentery. Cordier can't talk his wife, Huguette (Stephane Audran), into sharing his bed, but ...
Merci Pour le Chocolat
Isabelle Huppert,
Jacques Dutronc
FIRST RUN FEATURES, 2003
A little spilled chocolate goes a long way.
So far, I've seen maybe 7 Chabrol films (older and recent ones) and this is easily the most enjoyable one yet. Actually, I wasn't expecting much, after some mixed reviews here, but found the DVD for a decent price used at a local store, and gave it a shot. While I ...
Time of the Wolf
Isabelle Huppert,
Béatrice Dalle
Palm Pictures / Umvd, 2004
Dark, Disturbing, With Moments of Great Grace and Power
Yesterday, I caught a film from 2002, French with subtitles, called Le Temps Du Loup: THE TIME OF THE WOLF. It's a difficult film to watch, but I found myself utterly engrossed. There is no way I could turn off this film after the harrowing opening scene grabbed me ...
Entre Nous
Miou-Miou
, Isabelle Huppert
Fox Lorber, 1998
A Moving and Complex Tale of Emotion ...
The beuty of the film lies in its subtle power to transmit the complexity of when family obligations come in the way of self-fullfilment. The film is based on the true story of the the film maker's mother and was a cathartic process for Kurys, who was very close to her ...
Cesar & Rosalie

Romy Schneider
Fox Lorber, 2003
1st review for this movie. Wow.
That's indicative, I guess, of the overwhelming popularity of Claude Sautet's *Cesar and Rosalie*. No matter -- it's still one of the most plausible "love-triangle" movies ever made. There are many reasons for this, starting with Sautet's refusal to be just ...
