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 ...

Noshame, 2005
The Avante-garde Before the Revolution
The most memorable of the five segments is the Bertolucci short entitled "Agony." In this intense segment, a group of blissed or burned out actors from all over the world form a circle round Julien Beck, the group's leader. Beck is a famous acting guru and he is ...

What movie did the other reviewers watch?
Luchino Visconti is a master of the epic, however, his epic style always takes place within a family and always leads downward towards an inevitable doom. His movies tends to remind us of the 'Godfather' but Visconti, dare I say, even gets closer to the marrow of the ...

The Films Are Classics, The Transfers Are Marginal
Own these films individually on DVD from Image Entertainment. Nice to have them in boxed sets like this though I must let Metzger fans know that the transfers from First Run are not as good as the Image versions. Where the Image versions are color saturated and sharp, ...
The English Patient
Ralph Fiennes

Juliette Binoche
Walt Disney Video, 1998
Technically it is still a master piece.
It is an interesting film, but not more than that. What does it shows? That the English were particularly sectarian during WW2 on the African front. Nothing new under the sun. Anyone who had a slightly different name or a slightly surprising or uncommon attitude was at ...
Massacre Time

Televista, 2006
A Pretty Good Italian Western
Not to bad, worth the money and time. Pretty cool stunts and shooting sequences. A must for Nero fans, like myself, so don't miss it gentlemen!
Strip Nude For Your Killer
Gianni Airò

Amanda
Blue Underground, 2005
trash surviving time
This movie has been kept alive by the hair-raising picturing of its coherent & tense plot. Supported by some good music. Apart from that, 'Strip nude for your killer' is all bad to mediocre acting, sex, nudity and violence in a true seventies-style. Good watchable, ...

Diary of a Telephone Operator
Claudia Cardinale

Televista, 2006
Delightful!
I love this story! If you are a John Phillip Law fan, you'll be thrilled to see his performance as a "good Italian boy" determined to wait until his wedding night for the big event. His performance is so disarming and the only negative part of this film is that JPL ...

camille 2000!!!
I love it. Awesome to find this. I stumbled upon a burned copy of the soundtrack for this movie in San Francisco, not knowing it was a soundtrack, and loved it. Eventually I googled it and it led me hear. What a nice suprise. Fun movie. Thank you!

FIRST RUN FEATURES, 2006
Review of the DVD, not the film: Image quality is bad
I purchased this DVD for Camille 2000 and expected to be swept away with the film's lush and sensual sensibilities. Instead, I had to stop watching it 30 minutes into it. The transfer is terrible. It's full of scratches and it's out of focus or taken from a very old ...
