The Criterion Collection, 2005
"On a flimsy ground of reality, imagination spins out and waves new patterns."
This excellent collection of satirical vignettes is my kind of movie - crazy, dark and comical, it goes any direction it wants and does not follow any rules. When we try to grasp for the meaning, it is like a ghost, a phantom that "leaves us with a wisp of vapor in our ...

A Play in Two CDs
I got the two CD set as a rental and I will relate my exasperation with CD number one because I have an observation or two to share from that experience. The problem with CD #1 was that I could not play it without having to bear the running commentary (in English) of ...

The Stuff of Dreams
"The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie" unfolds with the absurd logic of a recurrent dream, and since the DVD has been beautifully restored, one is able to dream the dream in vivid color: Elegantly dressed guests arrive for a dinner party only to have the hostess ...

masculine loneliness
Yes, it is about gangsters. But to any Continental old enough to have seen this movie first in a small suburban movie theater full of smoke (when the basic idea was 'I will grow up and do this kind of things'), then to have seen it again in late night showings on a ...

Well acted, but not faithful to Zola's tale. Spend your money on the book
Therese Raquin was a novel written by a young Emile Zola prior to penning the monumental Rougon-Macquart series. This film adaptation of the novel is a decent story in it's own right, but does not remotely convey the emotion or drama of the original story. If you ...

retro fun!
The storyline almost does not matter: it is all a pretext to showcase Brigitte Bardot's (stunning) curves. She can't act, but she is so cute! And she is also surrounded by a wonderful cast of character actors well known to the French cinema afficionado of the 50s: ...

The spring of the comedy after the bloody WW2 !
After the WW2 , the figure of Jacques tati emerged from the ashes of the pains, traumas and sorrows inherited from the spiritual wounds and diverse sequels from the War. And truly, this film had to have been eau de cologne, a visual delight not only for the French ...
