KOCH LORBER FILMS, 2004

Masterpiece That Stands the Test of Time
"The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" is a one-of-a-kind movie. All of the lines are sung, to a beautiful score, but there are no traditional character solos, chorus numbers, or choreography. So it's not your average musical. The closest thing to a "show-stopper" in the movie is the stunning Oscar-nominated "I Will Wait for You." The plot is pretty easy to follow, yet it develops the characters quite ...

I heart this story
I think back on the first time I saw this movie. When it got to the end I just sat there, almost unable to move. I had so many emotions and thoughts processing in my little head that I'm sure that's why my body felt immobile. This story has *everything*! The acting is superb. If you're not used to foreign films with subtitles give it a chance. After the first 30 minutes you don't even ...

The CD was in good condition. The price was a little high but worth it to me. Thanks

Belle de Jour

Francis Blanche, Claude Cerval

Miramax, 2002

Magnifique
Belle De Jour is one of the best French films of all time (and indeed one of the best films, period). Deneuve, captured at the peak of her remarkable physical beauty, gives arguably her finest "ice queen" performance as a woman leading a bizarre double life where fantasy and reality begin to blend into one. The film's frank (and often humorous) portrayal of lust, infidelity, and madness manages ...

Jacques Demy's Lola

Wonderfully Romantic, Beautiful Anouk Aimee
Jacques Demy had a special way of viewing the world. He loved women and he was an incurable romantic. This delicate movie about a melancholy, gorgeoous woman in Nantes, France, who "dances" with sailors to earn a living while pining after her true love is a bittersweet poetic ode to the romantic in all of us. Anouk Aimee who was stunning years later in A Man and a Woman gave one of her best ...

an overlooked masterpiece
I just had to pitch in on this one. I'm a bit of a film geek, and have watched plenty of them. I'd say this movie is one of my personal favorites - definitely in the top five. No kidding. It serves the vital function of reminding me, when I need to be, that life can be a very good thing. I vastly prefer it to "Umbrellas of Cherbourg," whose relentless, weepy tragedy, not to mention its non-stop ...
