The School of Flesh
Isabelle Huppert, Vincent Lindon
Sony Pictures, 1999
Intoxicating
Isabelle Huppert and Vincent Martinez are superbly cast as victims of co-dependence. School of Flesh inverts the older-man young-woman theme and flavors it with contemporary nuances. Here we have an affluent older woman who gets off on the power money afford her, ...

C'est la Vie
Nathalie Baye, Richard Berry
MGM (Video & DVD), 2003
A remarkable movie !!
I have seen this movie on the German TV yesterday with the title: "A summer at the sea" and I was deeply impressed.
Despite that it was produced in 1990, the theme is more up-to-date than ever. Excellent actors of all ages performed very well indeed, a great story, ...

Betty Blue [Region 2]
Jean-Hugues Anglade, Béatrice Dalle
Don't Forget The Music!
I respect all of the reviews on this movie, which has to be one of my all time favorite foreign films. I cannot add anything that the other reviewers have not mentioned, other than the fact that this movie had the most haunting and wonderful musical score. The film ...

La Moustache
Vincent Lindon, Emmanuelle Devos
Koch Lorber Films, 2007
Engrossing AND satisfying.
I seem to be among an apparently small group of people who did not find the ending a huge disappointment. I don't think I expected for a moment that in the end everything would wrap itself up nicely and all would be revealed. Don't look so hard to find the answers; it ...

Friday Night
Valérie Lemercier, Vincent Lindon
Fox Lorber, 2003
A brilliant film from a brilliant artist!
I had to sign up as a reviewer just to counter the customer reviews of this film that are missing the point. This is great film! An historic film! Claire Denis is a courageous filmmaker precisely because she does not pander to the audience's expecations; she does not ...

Belle-maman [Region 2]
Catherine Deneuve, Vincent Lindon
FPE
Light hearted, irreverent, laugh out loud romantic comedy
Belle Maman is a tale of forbidden love and every other moral hot topic all rolled it into a deliciously funny and touching romantic comedy.
It's the wedding ceremony of Antoine (Vincent Lindon) and Severine, who are both lawyers. Just before the I-Do's, Severine's ...

Paparazzi [Region 2]
Vincent Lindon, Patrick Timsit
"You two really ought to ****. You have all the disadvantages of marriage, so you might as well have the advantages as well."
Alain Berberian's 1998 French comedy Paparazzi (not to be confused with the Mel Gibson-produced American revenge movie) feels like the kind of thing that Francis Veber would have made with Gerard Depardieu and Pierre Richard in the early 80s. Patrick Timsit is the ...
