Pauline at the Beach
One of Eric Rohmer's most enjoyable meditations on love and its discontents, "Pauline" is abetted by the presence of Langlet, an endearing and assured young actress. Rohmer takes his time observing his five characters and lets us get to know their (often deceptive) ...

In One Word: Wow!
I'm a guy who normally doesn't watch a lot of melodramas, but this film just stunned me....in every capacity. When it was over, all I could mutter was "wow!" It makes me want to know more about Piaf. In addition to the great cinematography, the story was terrific, ...

La Vie En Rose (La Mome)
I saw La Vie En Rose in Los Angeles a few months ago. It was a great film, and Marion Cottilard, who played Edith Piaf, did break my heart. Nobody could perform the role of the French singer better than Marion. I am waiting to get this French version for I heard that ...

Unforgettable
I've seen this movie three times; it is one of my favorite historical films. And it really puts the kibbosh on any romantic yearnings for medieval times! Harsh, brutal, bloody and absolutely believable, even if it does take some liberties with facts, who cares? This is ...

Bridging Gaps
Differences in culture, language, socio-economic class, race--all are obstacles that can be overcome in relationships, but not without difficulty. This challenging film, set in Marrakech, Morocco, addresses these in a story of a wealthy (relatively speaking), ...

read Proust first!
This is a wonderful film, a tribute by the Chilean-born direct Raoul Ruiz, in French with subtitles that occasionally are hard to read against the gold-white light of Marcel's retrospections. The most astonishing performance is John Malkovich's as Charlus, despite the ...

Discovering A Three-Hour Oscar-Worthy Epic : Five Stars
One of the greatest motion pictures of all time. Luc Besson achieved directorial greatness more than once, but this film is the peak of his creative vision and success. Casting Ukrainian supermodel Milla Jovovich was a controversial idea at the time, but Besson ...

Absolutely delightful
The movie is from Rohmer series of proverbs, and it is very kind and charming. For me, it was a story of a young girl coming out of age, about a conflict between her determination to achieve a goal despite all odds by trying to manipulate others and how life unfolds ...

Isabelle Huppert: An Amazingly Fine Actress in a Glowing Role
LA VIE PROMISE is one of those films that begs multiple viewings: the cinematography is truly an art form here, the story though incredibly well told (written by director/ co-author Olivier Dahan with Agnès Fustier-Dahan) requires integration of the viewer's thinking ...

An Unusual Romance
When we think romance in film...we think of the classics (Greta Garbo, Vivian Leigh, etc). This story of passion between a man and a woman is entirely different. The female heroine simply won't accept the Nazi's execution order for her husband (who was captured in a ...

one of the best french films I`ve seen in a long time
When reading some of the other reviews,I noticed a simmilar thread throughout,from the good and the bad, but basicly they all said it was hard to comprehend, but not to me. One thing that needs to be understood is that french movies do not follow the same format as ...
