Average Rating:	Hidden Agenda [1990] starring: Frances McDormand, Brian Cox, Brad Dourif, Mai Zetterling, Bernard Archard directed by: Ken Loach May 25, 1998 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£2.88
A very good film. i recommend that you watch it to understand the politics of northwern ireland intertwined with the mainland during the troubles. It shows the danger of unchecked and unaccountable security services operating in an enviornment where they can get away with murder and become a law unto themselves, and where civil liberties are trampled upon in the name of a so-called war on terror. A warning for today. You cant help see similarities with todays situation whereby we have repressive legislation and the assasination of Jean Charles Demenezes. I am reminded of a quote from Wilhelm Reich that goes 'who guards the guards, who polices the police'. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Under The Sand [2001] starring: Charlotte Rampling, Bruno Cremer, Jacques Nolot, Alexandra Stewart, Pierre Vernier directed by: FranÃ§ois Ozon September 24, 2001 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£1.00
FranÃ§ois Ozon's Under the Sand is a great departure from his previous films, trading the bold and over the top farce of Sitcom and the brash melodrama of Criminal Lovers for something much more restrained. As a result, this is a mature film about mature characters, shot in a low-key style that is beautiful, though unobtrusive; with Ozon's camera finding a sense of poetry and evocation in even the most mundane of objects to help further express the sense of grief and remembrance so central to the spirit of our main protagonist. To help convey this, the filmmaker instils his work with a lethargic mood, drawing on the silences of scenes and the physical and emotional distances between his characters to create something that is much more internal and subjective ...

Average Rating:	Whore [1991] starring: Theresa Russell, Benjamin Mouton, Michael Crabtree, John Diehl, Antonio Fargas directed by: Ken Russell August 12, 1992 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£2.70
Most critics have vilified this movie, and I cannopt for my life see why. Oddly enough, given the subject matter, this is strangely restrained, and is both sensitive and bold. Theresa Russell is top notch as the downtrodden girl of the road, dodging her pimp and trying to eke out a living in her hard world. At times moving, brutal, comic and horrific, this well-woven movie hits all the right notes, and together with Ken Russell's unerring eye for imagery makes it one of his best. The mock documentary style and earthy characters make this a treat to watch, warm funny and sad. I only wish this were available on DVD. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Un Air De Famille [1998] starring: Jean-Pierre Bacri, Jean-Pierre Darroussin, Catherine Frot, AgnÃ¨s Jaoui, Claire Maurier directed by: CÃ©dric Klapisch October 12, 1998 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£8.90
This film offers sharp and snappy dialogue, delivered by a handful of superb players, in a dark and confined setting that mirrors the claustrophobic nature of their emotional lives and relationships. But it's tremendous fun and, as other reviewers have said, all of us can identify with the tensions and frustrations that exist in families, and all of us recognise that from time to time, those emotions can burst forth in ways that are sometimes cruel and sometimes simply ridiculous. It's a superbly crafted movie and the director handles every scene with consummate skill. Even the dog, Caruso, paralysed though he is (that's part of the story) makes a flawless contribution. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Belle De Jour (1967) starring: Catherine Deneuve, Jean Sorel, Michel Piccoli, GeneviÃ¨ve Page, Pierre ClÃ©menti directed by: Luis BuÃ±uel May 15, 2000 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£0.01
"Belle de Jour" is an exploration, perhaps an expose ,of the clandestine desires, elaborate deceptions and capricious natures of modern women. Catherine Deneuve is Severine, a model bourgeois wife on the surface , but underneath is the repository of dark, sado-masochistic sexual fantasies,that lead her into prostitution. Deneuve plays "Belle de Jour" superbly well, making Severine's unlikely descent into degradation and depravity entirely credible. Her double life leads to jealousy and ultimately tragedy ,however ,as her two lives converge in the form of one of her clients, Marcel. "Belle de Jour" is an entertaining, well acted film with good all round characterisation. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Besieged [1999] starring: Thandie Newton, David Thewlis, Claudio Santamaria, John C. Ojwang, Massimo De Rossi directed by: Bernardo Bertolucci November 01, 1999 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£7.45
A slow, thoughtful, moving film. With David Thewlis very much on form. Leaves you with an awareness of the generosity of the human spirit. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Land And Freedom [1995] starring: Ian Hart, Rosana Pastor, IcÃar BollaÃn, Tom Gilroy, Marc MartÃnez directed by: Ken Loach October 28, 1996 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£1.67
A great film demonstrating the power and passion for political ideology in Europe in the the early to mid twentieth century, although also sadly demonstrating the inevitable futility when bound within the human condition. Full of inspiration and courage! Great! >>More Details

Average Rating:	Mishima: A Life In Four Chapters [1985] starring: Ken Ogata, Kenji Sawada, Yasosuke Bando, Toshiyuki Nagashima, Masayuki Shionoya directed by: Paul Schrader March 07, 1994 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£17.25
This is the only version of Mishima I have seen, so am not able to contrast it with the cinema version (too young...). Mishima is one of the most interesting biopics I have seen (this is the field my theses concerns at Uni), Schrader contrasting scenes from Mishima's life with episodes from his fiction. Between the wonderful scenes from Mishima's descent towards his death, we get scenes from books such as The Temple of the Golden Pavillion, Kyoko's House, Runaway Horses and Sun & Steel. The script is brilliant, written by Paul Schrader and his brother Leonard (who also wrote/co-wrote Kiss of the Spider Woman, Blue Collar & The Yakuza). Paul, of course, had written the brilliant biopic of Jake La Motta, Raging Bull for Martin Scorsese (along with Mardik ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	La Bonne Annee [1973] starring: Lino Ventura, Francoise Fabian, Charles Gerard directed by: Claude LeLouch March 06, 1995 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price:
La Bonne Annee is a magical piece of film making - a romance cum comedy-thriller with real emotional depth and irresistably charismatic leads in Lino Ventura and the impossibly sexy Francoise Fabian. Ventura gives a masterclass in film acting; his lugubrious features register the subtlest responses, the smallest emotions. Claude Lelouche handles the tone with extraordinary skill - the shift from the broad comedy of the 'heist' plot to the darker atmospherics of the love story is never forced. The photography, especially in the black and white segments which frame the central narrative, is wonderfully moody and the film manages to combine a huge sense of fun with a genuinely moving emotional charge. In part an ironic commentary on Lelouche's earlier and better known ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Ultimate Teacher starring: Naoto Takenaka, Hiroko Kasahara, YÃ»saku Yara, IchirÃ´ Nagai, Shinya Ã”taki directed by: Toyoo Ashida September 06, 1993 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£2.46
This is quite an elderly anime at this stage. Old enough that Excel Saga did a parody episode of it some time ago. It is hilariously funny _if_ and only if it catches you in the right mood. If you try to watch it seriously then you will probably deride it, but if you sit down with the intent of laughing your head off then this film will help you every step of the way. The story was probably never that great to begin with (rebellious students with inexplicably good martial arts skills, mutants taking over as teachers, wannabe superheroes and terrified biker gangs) and I honestly suspect that many of the writers, artists and voice actors didn't "get" the plot, but by the time the dubbing crew and english voice actors, who _really_ didn't get it were through ...
