DVD: Anne Brochet ...     DVD:       Masques4 reviews Philippe Noiret, Robin Renucci Homevision, 2004 One From the Vaults The release of Chabrol's box set last year (2003)has led to a re-evaluation of this seminal new waver's entire ouvre. Previous to the release of this box set common wisdom held that Chabrol made several masterpieces in the sixties and early seventies (Les Biches, Femme Infidele, Le Boucher, This Man Must Die) but that by the mid-seventies his creative well had dried up. Common wisdom also held ...             Intimate Strangers25 reviews Sandrine Bonnaire, Fabrice Luchini Paramount, 2004 Intimate Strangers An ingenious French treat with psychological underpinnings, director Leconte's "Intimate Strangers" is a meditation on the randomness of life and fate. Though the conceit may sound a bit contrived, Leconte brings it off thanks to a subtly intelligent script and dead-on performances by Luchini as William and Bonnaire as the entrancing Anna. Also look for Michel Duchaussoy, who provides ...             Tolerance1 review Ugo Tognazzi, Rupert Everett Synkronized USA, 2007 a gem too good for its kind The casting is in perfect harmony with the exceptional characterization, quite a feat given the immense heterogeneity of the leading parts. Assembling Italian, English and French actors works perfectly well and adds an adequate cosmopolitan strength to the story line. Tognazzi IS Dionysos, Brochet IS innocence and Everett IS redemption. They are all magnificent.             Driftwood2 reviews James Spader; Anne Brochet Trinity Entertainment, 2005 Probably more a womens' film Very few films can hold your attention when it has only 2 chracters for almost the entire film. This film is haunting, worring and sexy all at the same time. The location is fabulous and the acting is superb.             The Bengali Night (La nuit bengali)6 reviews Hugh Grant, Shabana Azmi Goldhil Home Media, 2005 A beautiful and very powerful film. "The Bengali Night" is a very subtle and beautiful film, where Indian culture has the leading role even if Hugh Grant and John Hurt are both excellent. As the film begins, we are introduced to the world of those expatriates living in India, although there are some, like Hugh Grant's character, Allan, who refuse to absorb this very strong and powerful culture. Allan is an engineer who builds ...             The Gerard Depardieu Collection (Tous Les Matins du Monde / The Count of Monte Cristo / Changing Times)2 reviews Gérard Depardieu, Jean-Pierre Marielle Koch Lorber Films, 2007 An escellent buy!

I first saw this film in the early '90's shortly after it was released in Los Angeles. I recently viewed it again. The film's message is a profound comment on the life and spirit and gift of music and the great importance of those who teach and guide us. The story is a metaphor for the passion of the music. It ...             Cyrano de Bergerac85 reviews Gérard Depardieu, Anne Brochet MGM (Video & DVD), 2004 One of the high water marks of French cinema Jean-Paul Rappeneau's wonderfully cinematic version of Cyrano De Bergerac is one of the genuine high water marks of modern French cinema. Rappeneau is a director who really understands movement, and his far from static approach revitalizes the piece and frees it from the tyranny of the wonderful words to give it wings, while Gerard Depardieu's magnificent Cyrano keeps the film's emotions ...             La Confiance Regne Jacques Boudet, Anne Brochet Cristal Films, 2006 Household maid Chrystele and handyman-cum-chauffeur Christophe meet when each is on the run from having betrayed their most recent employers' trust.

Driftwood is quite magical. I watched it last night and while there are horror elements there it was something else, you feel like you are there, right alongside those there....its a transportation of your soul to that place and the characters and is a visceral expierience is the best sense.
