1.The Hairdresser's Husband starring: Jean Rochefort, Anna Galiena, Roland Bertin, Maurice Chevit, Philippe Clévenot directed by: Patrice Leconte June 22, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.71
fascinating french movie. not overly sentimental and romantic, but at times erotic and lustful. a quiet, slow burning desire. when life was fulfilled and so satisfying, you might just want to end it right there. a movie clicked a core of your soul and would keep vibrating for the rest of your life. glamorously beautiful hairdresser, a serene, warm, ravishing and passionate woman played so just-right by an excellent actress. the husband role was a bit too old but also a mature, likable and even lovable character played by a fantastic talent actor. highly recommended.

2.Celine and Julie Go Boating starring: Juliet Berto, Dominique Labourier, Bulle Ogier, Marie-France Pisier, Barbet Schroeder directed by: Jacques Rivette November 11, 1998

Saw this movie the other night at a film society(35mm.) and am very glad I did because I went searching for it on DVD after the showing and discovered it is not available on DVD region 1. I did manage to find a VHS copy of it at my local video rental shop but this left much to be desired as I will explain. Seeing a film in a darkened hall with other film-goers is one of the pleasures of life. Celine and Julie opens with a close-up of Julie relaxing on a park bench with her book of magic and the leaves on the trees gently ruffling ala the trees in the park in "Blow Up". Julie's bright red hair is central to her identity, or at least it was for me. Watching her reading from her book, trying to commit certain spells to memory, failing and laughing at herself was facinating to watch. Read More

3.Place Vendome (Sub) starring: Catherine Deneuve, Jean-Pierre Bacri, Emmanuelle Seigner, Jacques Dutronc, Bernard Fresson directed by: Nicole Garcia August 12, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $5.47
This is a complex and ambiguous film that definitely does not achieve these effects by shadows, dim lighting, and murky dialog. This film glitters! If there were no story, no moral ambiguity, no Catherine Deneuve at the mature height of her powers, no dialog at all...even without these things it would be a visual joyride simply to watch the film and visit the Ritz Hotel, the showrooms and backrooms of the high-end jewelry trade, fashionable Paris interiors, the baroque elegance of Le Train Bleu restaurant (This restaurant has a gorgeous website.), etc. But my main purpose for this review is to point out a wonderful bit of obscure Cuban music from the artist Hanny. Two pieces from his album "Voice of Cuba" ("Tu Me Quieres Pa Bien" and "Uncastillo A Tu Magia") are used to great effect. (As ... Read More

4.Camille Claudel starring: Isabelle Adjani, Gérard Depardieu, Laurent Grévill, Alain Cuny, Madeleine Robinson directed by: Bruno Nuytten March 07, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.22
Camille Claudel was the young talented studio assistant to Auguste Rodin who became his muse and lover at a point in his career when he was a commercial success but had become devoid of inspiration. When he refused to leave his common-law wife of many years to marry Camille, she had an abortion and then gradually sunk into paranoid schizophrenia. This is the basic story. However the subtle manner in which the story is told and the unresolved issues in the life of Claudel elevate the film into a work of art. The film explores the artistic muse and their relationship with the artist. Camille was a muse in that her images were fresh and vibrant which inspired Rodin. She was also a willful and socially disruptive iconoclastic young women and Rodin is attracted to her outbursts of emotion. He is twice ... Read More
