Jeanne Moreau

Jane March, Tony Leung Ka Fai

MGM (Video & DVD), 1997

THE LOVER is Fit, for a Woman Like Me!
I love this Movie, I love the story plot, and most of all, I love Jane March and Tony Leung for doing this. Excellent job! Now, it's obvious to me that anytime the title,"THE LOVER" is heard, I glow from the inside. That happened to me the first time I seen it on ON ...

The Bride Wore Black

Jeanne Moreau, Michel Bouquet

MGM (Video & DVD), 1999

A wonderful Hitchcockian black comedy of murder and revenge by Truffaut, starring Jeanne Moreau
Truffaut said The Bride Wore Black was his homage to Hitchcock. A great homage it is, with that Bernard Herrmann score, murderous psychological ambiguity, bad things happening on warm, sunlit days and a complex -- and looney -- main character. Think of it as a black ...

Monte Walsh

Lee Marvin, Jeanne Moreau

20th Century Fox, 1998

Monte Walsh--Lee Marvin
My absolute favorite western. It captures life on ranches after the winter of 1886-87.This needs to be out on widescreen DVD.

Summer House

Jeanne Moreau

Hallmark, 1995

Quirky masterpiece!
This movie is so priceless in so many ways, it's a crime that it's not out on DVD. It's a pity its considered "little"; maybe in futre decades, it will become "big." I've read the novel that this is based on, and I actually like the film bette!! Not that the novel ...

Stolen Portraits

Jean-Louis Richard, Catherine Deneuve

Fox Lorber, 1998

Incomplete Portrait
Rarely-seen photos and personal reminiscences color much of this occasionally dry but often compelling 1993 French documentary on the life and work of landmark film director Francois Truffaut. Most of the interviewed participants are those one would expect - close ...

Train

Burt Lancaster, Paul Scofield

MGM (Video & DVD), 1997

Riveting action and suspense as the French Resistance attempts to stop a Nazi train full of looted artwork
If "The Train" isn't Burt Lancaster's finest film, it must certainly be included in the top two or three. Lancaster gives an outstanding performance as Paul Labiche, a resourceful French station master working with the Resistance to prevent the retreating German army ...

The Train

Burt Lancaster, Paul Scofield

Mgm Entertainment, 1992

Riveting action and suspense as the French Resistance attempts to stop a Nazi train full of looted artwork
If "The Train" isn't Burt Lancaster's finest film, it must certainly be included in the top two or three. Lancaster gives an outstanding performance as Paul Labiche, a resourceful French station master working with the Resistance to prevent the retreating German army ...

Ever After - A Cinderella Story

Drew Barrymore, Anjelica Huston

20th Century Fox, 2001

Indulge in this!
Ever After - A Cinderella Story is a sweet period piece starring Drew Barrymore. I saw this movie in the theatre when it was released in 1998 and I loved every minute of it. Barrymore brings warmth and sensitivity to the role and Anjelica Huston is just plain nasty as ...

The Architecture of Doom

Rolf Arsenius, Bruno Ganz

First Run Features, 1996

Hitler's mission to "beautify" Germany through violence
Several key points underpin Hitler's "mission" for the German people in this documentary directed by Peter Cohen: the need to make Germany racially clean, the need to make the ethnically Aryan people realise that they were always meant to be the dominant race in the ...

Jimmy Buffett - Tales From Margaritavision

Patrick Bruel, Jeanne Moreau

Polygram Video, 2000

Margaritaville is never a waste.
Every long time parrothead would want to have a copy of this video. We heard all of the songs before, but we never want to miss the chance to hear them again. To the newly initiated it is a quick trip through some great musical history. It is worth a view to see the ...

The Lovers

Jeanne Moreau, Alain Cuny

New Yorker Video, 1998

Malle's Scandalous 'Lovers.'
Louis Malle's controversial 1958 film, The Lovers (Les Amants), tells the not-so-scandalous-by-today's-standards story of a middle-aged, French woman (Jeanne Moreau, Malle's love interest at the time), who leaves both her boring husband, Henri (Alain Cuny), and her ...

Dangerous Liaisons

Jeanne Moreau, Gérard Philipe

Interama Video Classics, 1990

A Masterpiece from Roger Vadim?! Was it possible?! Yes!
This one is up there with Stephen Frears' version starring Glen Close and John Malkovich and is in some ways even better. Most of Vadim's films are laughed at today and people tend to throw this one in with the rest, which is a mistake. Chaderlos de Laclos' sensibility ...

Elevator to the Gallows

Jeanne Moreau, Maurice Ronet

New Yorker Video, 1998

Top floor film noir from one of the greats
This was Louis Malle's first. Previously he had worked with Jacques Cousteau on "The Silent World" (interestingly enough) and now tried his hand at film noir. Several things fell into place to make this debut a memorable one. First, he was able to get Jeanne ...

Jules and Jim

Jeanne Moreau, Oskar Werner

Criterion Collection, The, 1999

Are We Bound By Ourselves?
This is one of the bonafide classics of cinema. Thus, I, a movie buff, feel obligated to love it. Alas, I can not force myself to love it but I do like it alot and it does impress me in many ways. The acting is superb. Jeanne Moreau effortlessly carries the movie. ...

Querelle (Sub)

Brad Davis, Franco Nero

Sony Pictures, 2001

querelle
It's a wonderful example of gay culture not just for gays. But for straight people as well. I am a straight guy, and I adore this movie. It's a film about passion, which power is so strong, that human soul and human flesh don't survive.
