Je, Tu, Il, Elle [VHS]

Niels Arestrup, Claire Wauthion

World Artists Home V, 1993

The careful subversions of Akerman
After first watching this film in a Women and Film class, I was amazed by this movie. Yes, the plot is hard to follow. Yes, there are some moments where we do not understand the imagery. But Akerman is doing these things intentionally. We should not feel as the same when we watch a blockbuster movie. Akerman takes away the viewer's knowledge of symbols and events and places us out of reach with ...

The Beat That My Heart Skipped

Romain Duris, Aure Atika

Wellspring, 2005

Absolutely BRILLIANT film! The best foreign film of 2005 without a doubt!
If Romain Duris' performance had any more heat to it, he would undoubtedly have burned the celluloid straight off the reel, thus ruining this piece of cinematographic genius in post-production. He is alternantively sensitive, rageful, violent, and mundane, all in the course of two hours. Even more remarkably, he manages to pull off these disparate emotions in rapid, BELIEVABLE succession. We get ...

Trajectory
Malik El Djebena enters prison a blank slate of nineteen. Immediately you realize his youth, his vulnerability in a savage, organized world that only sees him as fresh bait. He becomes the means to a murderous end for fellow inmate the Corsican mob and thus begins his descent into its servitude. Ironically, it is his position as their dirty Arab that provides his escape. Propelled by stellar, ...

Not Enough Stars Exist
Where has Chantal Akerman been all my life? Her films are glorious, gorgeous, tense and absolute. Stunning. Do not live another minute without this collection. It will change your life.

"Meeting Venus" aims high--and hits the bullseye
Until we get a U.S. DVD release of this movie, this foreign version is the best we can do. I'd like to think that at some point in the future, "Meeting Venus" will be known to the wider public (and not just the 10 or so of us that have seen it) as one of the very best movies of the entire 1990s--which it is. I saw this in a movie theater in 1992, and it so blew me away I saw it a second time ...

aka Sincerely Charlotte
Caroline Huppert cowrote and directed this vehicle for her sister, Isabelle, the tale of one of those infuriating amoral child-women who are always in trouble and men are always suckers for. Isabelle begins as a disco-nightclub singer styled as a cross between early Madonna and Peter Pan, where she sings Souvenirs Chiffonnes, with lyrics by Caroline and music by Phillippe Sardre. This awful pop ...
