Articles tagged "daniel auteuil" Film DVD ReviewMy Best Friend (Mon meilleur ami)by Celena Carr[23.Oct.07] :. As in myth, it’s not the plausibility of the plot that is important, but rather, the journey that it takes us on and the questions that ensue.  Film ReviewMy Best Friend (Mon meilleur ami) (2006)by Cynthia Fuchs[17.Jul.07] :. My Best Friend suggests François is in fact a self-important twit, unable to grasp basic notions of generosity, gentleness, or empathy. Featured Article Film DVD ReviewA Heart in Winter (1993)by Kate Williams[15.Nov.06] :. Neglected for too long by North American audiences, Un Coeur en Hiver is a subtle, intelligent, and provocative piece of cinema that should not be overlooked. PopMatters Pick Film DVD ReviewCaché (Hidden) (2005)by Cynthia Fuchs[28.Jun.06] :. Michael Haneke's movies are never easy. Instead, they set out complex, multi-layered problems, encountered by ordinary-seeming characters, sometimes worked out but more usually left unresolved. Film ReviewCaché (2005)by Cynthia Fuchs[6.Jan.06] :. Caché is Michael Haneke's latest unsettling look at the shaky foundations of bourgeois security.  Film ReviewAprès Vous (2003)by Cynthia Fuchs[1.Jul.05] :. While most secrets e=are eventually confessed, Après Vous offers no indication that these characters will ever be honest with themselves. The Widow of Saint-Pierre (La Veuve de Saint-Pierre) (2001)by Susan BrownNewly married and deeply in love, the couple is known for their 'modern ideas', which means -- in the film's rather simplistic terms -- that they are willing to look beyond a man's deed and into his character. It also means that they make love often, curtains billowing in the background. Le Placard (The Closet) (2000)by Todd R. RamlowWhat happens when you find yourself watching an ostensibly 'gay movie' in which only one gay character appears, and in a secondary role?" The Girl on the Bridge (1999)by Mark HaywardThis is a playful film that does not ask the viewer for sustained reflection, but rather, to take delight in the images on the screen. Hey, I've always been a sucker for those Robert Doisneau pictures. |
