1.Bizet - Carmen / Maazel, Migenes, Domingo starring: Julia Migenes, Plácido Domingo, Ruggero Raimondi, Faith Esham, François Le Roux directed by: Francesco Rosi December 07, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.79
Excellent performance by all the actors and opera singers. It was a very good idea to transport the classic opera into a movies version. This adaptation is not new, nevertheless, is a masterpiece for all times. Congratulations !

2.Les Miserables starring: Jean-Paul Belmondo, Michel Boujenah, Alessandra Martines, Salomé Lelouch, Annie Girardot directed by: Claude Lelouch September 01, 1998

Another French film told well. Nice to see some actors in roles you would not expect. Is a film that will make you feel good.

3.The Red Balloon starring: Pascal Lamorisse, Sabine Lamorisse, Georges Sellier, Vladimir Popov, Paul Perey directed by: Albert Lamorisse February 20, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.14
basic, basic plot: Boy meets balloon. Boy and balloon hang out around Paris, despite others' efforts to separate them. I had put off seeing this because it sounded hilariously boring. (In fact, I believe that the old tv show "The Critic" had this movie as part of some kind of joke, insisting that it was the eponymous critic's favorite movie to exemplify his pomposity.) I wound up watching it the other day late at night because it was short and I wouldn't stay up...and was definitely wide awake afterwards. I won't go into too much detail about what happens in the film because it's so short, but I will say that I found it very enjoyable and I will watch it again sometime to get a better look at the effects used in giving the balloon personality, as well as the final scene. I'd say that the last ... Read More

4.Latcho Drom starring: La Caita directed by: Tony Gatlif November 11, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $35.00
Latcho Drom is mesmerizing, the people magical and the music unforgettable. There is no dialogue, but this does nothing to detract from the film's integrity or entertainment value. Although Rom diaspora has resulted in the Roma living in just about every country on earth, Latcho Drom provides the viewer with a coup d'oeil of the Roma people in Africa, Egypt, Turkey, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, France and Spain. The Romanian Roma (the two are mutually exclusive), instantly pulled me under their spell. Upon first impression, the Romanian "gypsies" might look like a ragtag band of amateurs. In short order, however, this misconception is swiftly dispelled as these musical maestros fill the air with their art - all deftly orchestrated and delivered. The women of the ... Read More

5.Ponette starring: Victoire Thivisol, Delphine Schiltz, Matiaz Bureau Caton, Léopoldine Serre, Marie Trintignant directed by: Jacques Doillon May 25, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $7.96
Note: French with English subtitles. Synopsis: Little Ponette (Victoire Thivisol) has recently lost her Mother in a car accident.

After the funeral Ponette is left at boarding school where she attempts to deal with her loneliness with other children her own age who soon begin to offer advise on how Ponette may be able to remain in contact with her dead Mother. Death, dreams, Heaven, Jesus, the All-Mighty are all discussed by this group of bright, young minds who try and help her make sense of it all. Even the use and benefit of magic Smarties is considered as a possible avenue to the realm of the dead. Through all the grief and sorrow Ponette eventually discovers ... Read More

6.The Eighth Day starring: Daniel Auteuil, Pascal Duquenne, Miou-Miou, Henri Garcin, Isabelle Sadoyan directed by: Jaco van Dormael March 24, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $17.99
This truly is a magical tale which will touch your life & stay with you forever..... It will make you laugh & it will make you cry - It makes you see things differently & look at life with a different perspective. This film touched my life - I hope it does the same for you. Quite simply, it's amazing.

7.Z starring: Yves Montand, Irene Papas, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Jacques Perrin, Charles Denner directed by: Costa-Gavras November 11, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.20
I was 18 when I saw this movie for the first time, and it gave me quite a shock - for the first time, I realized a movie could be more than just entertainment, then it could inform, infuriate and chill you at the same time. This movie depicts the events surrounding the death of the charismatic leader of a leftist Greek political faction. As the judge in charge investigates, he realizes that it isn't an accident, but murder, sanctioned by important people. These events are based on the real-life assassination of Gregorios Lambrakis in 1963. The directing is taut, the actors excellent, and the tension mounts steadily. This is a movie you must see - and ponder seriously. How strong is democracy ? Can a faction in power manipulate events and push aside (or even kill) anyone who opposes it with impunity ? I think it ... Read More

8.Burnt by the Sun starring: Nino Abuladze, T. Akopova, Ion Aksenti, Nina Arkhipova, Vladimir Belousov (II) October 22, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.43
This excellent movie is beautifully photographed, deeply affecting, intricate but clear, and it illustrates the monstrous abuse a totalitarian government perpetrates upon its citizens and their heroic battles against it. I highly recommend it.

9.Mama, There's a Man in Your Bed starring: Daniel Auteuil, Firmine Richard, Pierre Vernier, Maxime Leroux, Gilles Privat directed by: Coline Serreau June 23, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $32.99
When I saw this film for a film class years ago, it was called "Romauld et Juliette" and it had subtitles. It was then released here under this title, which hardly gives the impression of a lovely, moving, surprising film that starts with implications of white-collar crime but ends up with a joyful meshing of relationships. At least the "American remake" never happened--and I hope it never does. This film is perfect as it is.

10.Thieves - (aka "Les Voleurs") starring: Catherine Deneuve, Daniel Auteuil, Laurence Côte, Benoît Magimel, Fabienne Babe directed by: André Téchiné June 30, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $5.44
Deneuve is in a subdued role in this film. She's also in a supporting role so the film cover is a bit misleading. The story is not as strong as others that she's chosen. Daniel Auteuil is great as the cop who is entangled in the life of a trouble-making young woman. Extremely sexy in this role, he plays the role of a strong yet conflicted law enforcer well. The film is a bit weak in its flow. It's not the worst film but it's also not extremely good either.
