DVD: Miou-Miou     DVD:     Miou-Miou      The Mad Adventures of Rabbi Jacob Louis de Funès, Miou-Miou Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation, 2004 THE FUNNIEST FILM I HAVE EVER SEEN I originally saw an English version of this film in a cinema over 30 years ago and was delighted to find it was available on DVD. The fact that the soundtrack on the DVD is in French, one of the (n-1) languages I do not speak, made no difference to my enjoyment of ...             Going Places Gérard Depardieu, Patrick Dewaere Starz / Anchor Bay, 2002 Genet would approve of this farce. And keep this in mind: it is a farce. How come no one told me of this movie, huh? I'm shocked that such a phenomenal movie could go under the radar for so long for me...and I'm 42. I mean I know it is a french film but there is just no excuse for this film not to be a household word universally, especially ...             Women Miou-Miou, Carmen Maura Fox Lorber, 2000 Five women, all near the wrong side of forty, face life's ups and downs together with laughter, tears, and sometimes irony. Their only imperative: live, love and live some more.             The Science of Sleep Gael García Bernal, Charlotte Gainsbourg Warner Home Video, 2007 Great romantic movie I think, the phrase "Close your eyes, open your heart" describes this movie very well, as there is no real plot or story line in it. But it is very relaxing to watch it, especially, when you are not distracted by anything. It also has a very European feel to it - the ...             New Rose Hotel Christopher Walken, Willem Dafoe Lions Gate, 1999 Not enough Will Gibson movies, but this is a good one. This is a very good, intelligent B-movie in the science fiction realm- especially if you have ever enjoyed some of William Gibson's stories. Having Wil Dafoe and Asia Argento in this is a very nice bonus, but not the only things that make this film so good. It is this ...             Germinal Renaud, Gérard Depardieu Sony Pictures, 1996 SIX STARS This is one of the great ones. Every bit as riveting as "Shindler's List", it is not about the Jews and The Holocaust, but a less immediate cause - coal miners in France in 1884. Deserves to be one of France's top ten films of all time. Costing $30 million, it's ...             A Genius, Two Partners and a Dupe Rik Battaglia, Mario Brega Televista, 2007 Seen it I liked this as much as My Name is Nobody even though its way less arty. Especially funny was the part near the beginning when Hill gets to town and is dumped out of the coach into the dust with his saddle, but he just lays there in the street with the carts and ...             Germinal [Region 2] Miou-Miou, Renaud (II) SIX STARS This is one of the great ones. Every bit as riveting as "Shindler's List", it is not about the Jews and The Holocaust, but a less immediate cause - coal miners in France in 1884. Deserves to be one of France's top ten films of all time. Costing $30 million, it's ...             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 ...             Le Huitième jour [Region 2] Daniel Auteuil, Pascal Duquenne An extraordinary achievement Although being fluent in French is almost a prerequisite to watch this movie, it's something that anyone with an interest in intelligent and emotive drama should see. The direction is for the most part light and sure, with the actors given the opportunity to convey ...             Going Places [Region 2] Gérard Depardieu, Patrick Dewaere Genet would approve of this farce.

Traditionally, sentimental family dramas are the kind of thing Hollywood is supposed to do much better - "Kramer vs. Kramer", etc. etc. Three sisters? Okay, Woody Allen's "Interiors", if you can stand almost two hours in which no-one even cracks a smile. Along ...             Dry Cleaning Miou-Miou, Charles Berling Strand Home Video, 2000 After spending a majority of their fifteen year marriage working, a straight-laced bourgeois couple take a much needed break and visit a local nightclub. They become fascinated by Loic, the incredibly attractive male half of a brother-sister drag queen performing team.
