☞THE MOVIE:
When Blanche Renard meets Greg Lamoureux, she believes she has found the one. The ties that bind them grow rapidly; they are caught up in a great passion. Ignoring her fears, Blanche abandons her family and her twin sister, Rose, with dreams of reinventing herself – and little by little finds herself caught in the grip of a deeply possessive and dangerous man. A man whose true nature she is too ashamed, too afraid, to reveal. There are only two ways out. Either his victim will break, or she will free herself… – Official Synopsis
“Exploring how this puzzle of domination and control takes shape, piece by piece, starting with the corners and the edges, with expert use made of ellipses (based on a brilliant screenplay), Valérie Donzelli paints a poignant picture of Blanche’s increasingly unbearable torment, made worse by her feelings of guilt and her realization of the gravity of the situation.” – Cineuropa

☞THE MOVIE:
When the easygoing would-be novelist Zorg (Jean-Hugues Anglade) meets the tempestuous Betty (Béatrice Dalle, in a magnetic breakout performance) in a sunbaked French beach town, it’s the beginning of a whirlwind love affair that sees the pair turn their backs on conventional society in favor of the hedonistic pursuit of freedom, adventure, and carnal pleasure. But as the increasingly erratic Betty’s grip on reality begins to falter, Zorg finds himself willing to do things he never expected to protect both her fragile sanity and their tenuous existence together. Adapted from the hit novel 37°2 le matin by Philippe Djian, Jean-Jacques Beineix’s art-house smash is a sexy, crazy, careening joyride of a romance that burns with the passion and beyond-reason fervor of all-consuming love. – Official Synopsis
“One of the best French films of the 80s” – BBC, Channel 4
“Feverish tale of amour fou…” – Variety

☞THE MOVIE:
“Eight years after his last film, Michel Gondry is back with an alter-ego tortured by burlesque afflections. Marc, a bipolar and paranoid filmmaker, cannot tolerate seeing his current project picked apart by his producers. The clips he’s been able to sneak a look at lead him to fear the worst. With his editor as an accomplice, he manages to spirit away the rushes to his aunt’s place in the Cévennes, to finish the film as he envisions it. Instead, its completion is constantly postponed, as he creates endless diversions and impasses, which alternate between the comic and the downright disturbing.” – Synopsis
“The Book of Solutions” is — first and foremost — a high-energy ode to the joys of being possessed by a creative spirit, and the pleasure that Gondry takes in telling a plot-light story that’s driven by pure invention is both palpable and contagious. – Indiewire

One day, Theo, 17, Pierre’s son from a previous marriage, moves in with them. Anne is troubled by Theo and gradually engages in a passionate relationship with him, putting her career and family life in danger. – Synopsis
“Last Summer is a movie that defies moral boundaries and narrative conventions. With her punkish attitude — the soundtrack features an original song by Sonic Youth — Breillat again takes us to the limits of what’s acceptable, asking us to ask ourselves whether we should have any limits at all.” – The Hollywood Reporter
“Returning to the provocative power games that shaped her reputation, the controversial ‘Fat Girl’ director delivers another unnerving anti-romance with this French-language remake of ‘Queen of Hearts.’” – Variety

“Jacques Demy, writer-director, and Michel Legrand, composer, who did the successful musical The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, reunite for a more ambitious pic that adds dance to a tale of small-town life. It has charm, sustained human observation, mixed with catchy music, dances and songs to come up as a tuner with grace and dynamism.” – Variety

“It’s back in 52 BC. That’s right, BC. Although Gaul isn’t totally overrun, Cleopatra’s Egypt is under the yoke of the Roman Empire. What’s worse is that Cleopatra, that dame with the big nose, has had the good sense to choose Caesar for her boyfriend. Caesar is the Emperor of the Greatest of All Peoples. Or so he says” – Synopsis
“It’s silly, it’s funny, the whole family can go to “Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra.” Like Mel Brooks with a really big budget, helmer, scripter and thesp Alain Chabat lets the groan-worthy puns and clever anachronisms fly in the service of a story”- Variety

“The director’s ambition to offer political entertainment without ever putting aside his sense of spectacle is once again reminiscent of the great conspiracy films of Sydney Pollack or Alan J. Pakula . Sometimes clumsy but always gripping and relevant, Second Tour is an astonishing feature film in more than one way, carried by a superb new trio after that of Adieu les cons”.- CineParis
