Nice Horror & Mystery Movie - Pacte des Loups - 2001

admin — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 15:08:09 +0000

Candle-lit interior cinematography, lush misty landscapes, strong characters, exquisite costumes, an authentic boudoir recreation of 18th century French society, a new kind of savage ‘monster’ and some of the finest stylized fight scenes ever laid down in a ‘genre’ film, place Pacte des Loups also known as “Brotherhood of the Wolf” among the classiest French horror adventure films of all time. And as a bonus we have Monica Bellucci naked !!

Based (loosely) on an 18th-century legend, this French film follows a hunky scientist (Samuel Le Bihan) and his Iroquois sidekick/spiritual partner (Mark Dacascos) as they pursue a monstrous wolf ravaging the French countryside. Along the way Le Bihan gets entwined with a beautiful noblewoman (Emilie Dequenne) and a gorgeous prostitute (Monica Belluci) with secrets to tell. Go for it.

Cult of the Cults - The Golden Age (L’Age d’Or)

admin — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 12:24:48 +0000

Luis Bunuel’s L’Age d’Or provoked such a fierce reaction among the Right that it was almost immediately banned by the French authorities after its release and not shown for another 50 years (it was finally allowed to play in Paris again in 1980). Suffice it to say, when you see it, you’ll understand why: especially the final sequence.

Bunuel and Dali’s surreal visions of tireless yet unfulfilled lovers through time imposed upon by “polite” society and driven to (in his case) madness and atheism and (in her case) nymphomania and desperate debauchery is a wild and amazing work of art.

Persepolis : Creative and Truthful

admin — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 22:03:48 +0000

Persepolis is one of the best theatrical foreign art films I think I have ever seen in my life. Marjane Satrapi, not only did the drawings for the movie but also for the books, has created a masterpiece.

The tale is about her life as a young girl in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. Along with her life during the Revolution, it also revolves around her life away from her parents and life on the street when she finds herself without money in another country.

This is a story of the dreams that were shattered after the Islamic revolution…the families that were broken…. and the collapse of the most ancient civilization on earth…It is a true story of one of the biggest human tragedies in 20 century and the movie very cleverly shows that fact.

Nominated for Oscar. Another 15 wins & 21 nominations. IMDB Rating 8.1/10

La Femme Nikita , 1990

admin — Fri, 30 May 2008 12:46:08 +0000

Nikita is young and attractive, but has already gone to the bad. During a hold up of a pharmacy (drug store) with her drug-crazed criminal gang, she deliberately kills a policeman, coldly shooting him in the face.

She is condemned to prison for life, but the French secret services, looking for cold blooded killers, have identified the potential in her. They offer her an alternative future. If she proves herself, she could become a secret agent herself. She accepts and starts a hard career.

Director Luc Besson manages to keep a high level of energy and our interest - from the opening scene – a violent drugstore shootout until the very last moment. A high adrenaline anti-heroine thriller.

IMDB Rating : 7.5 /10

Gérard Depardieu Biography, Photos, Videos

admin — Sat, 17 May 2008 11:30:44 +0000

Gérard Depardieu born in 1948 in the provincial French town of Chateauroux, the son of a metal-sheet worker. He was a great adventurer in his childhood and had a troubled life, left the school at 12 and run away from home. Young and wanderer in the past, Gérard Depardieu started his excellent acting career at a small theatre. After minor roles in cinema, his big break came in 1973 when Bernard Blier offered him a lead role in Les Valseuses. That film established a new type of hero in the French cinema and the actor’s popularity grew enormously.

Later he became the leading French actor of the 80s and 90s. He was two César awards as Best Actor for Dernier métro, Le (1980) and Cyrano de Bergerac (1990), received also an Oscar nomination for ‘Cyrano’ and another 16 wins & 19 nominations at international film festivals.

In 1996 he was distinguished by the highest French title of ‘Chevalier du Légion d’Honneur’.

Delicatessen, 1991

admin — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 11:53:19 +0000

Is it horror? Yes and no. Is it a comedy? Yes and no. Is it brilliant? Oh yes definitely!
In a post-apocalyptic world, the residents of an apartment above the butcher shop receive an occasional delicacy of meat, something that is in low supply. A young man new in town falls in love with the butcher’s daughter, which causes conflicts in her family, who need the young man for other business-related purposes.

This is a very funny film which, in spite of the storyline, is not as black as the opening scene would suggest. Jeunet and Caro’s filmographic style is unusual - in fact genuinely surreal in places. The extraordinary performances from all of the cast members (particularly Pinon and Dougnac), the spooky incidental music, and the creepy sets all add to the bizarre, other-worldliness of this film.

IMDB Rating : 7.9/10
