Average Rating:	Life Is Beautiful [1999] starring: Roberto Benigni, Nicoletta Braschi, Giorgio Cantarini, Giustino Durano, Sergio Bini Bustric directed by: Roberto Benigni November 22, 1999 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£2.70
I would give this no stars at all. There was NOTHING beautiful about "life" for the Jews who went through the Holocaust. This is the most cynical, insensitive, arse-covering, insulting interpretation of the Holocaust ever to be produced. I hate it! And I hate that foolish Roberto Benigni for producing it. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Farewell My Concubine [1993] starring: Leslie Cheung, Fengyi Zhang, Li Gong, Qi Lu, Da Ying directed by: Kaige Chen June 07, 1994 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£5.00
This has to be one of the greatest films ever made. I can add nothing to the previous reviews other than this little anecodte... The first time I went to see this film was after a hectic week of theatre work. I had been in the constant company of one of my fellow actors for over a week, including rehearsals, performances and the party on the last night of the show. The cast had then all slept in the same house, breakfasted and gone their ways. My friend suggested we go to see some arty Chinese film (yawn!). I was vaguely interested because I had seen Chinese theatre once or twice. Once the film started I was transfixed. At one point, two hours into the film, I suddenly remembered I was in a cinema sitting next to somebody... but who? ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Abigail's Party [1977] starring: Alison Steadman, Tim Stern, Janine Duvitski, John Salthouse, Harriet Reynolds directed by: Mike Leigh June 10, 1988 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£2.20
Watching this exquisitely funny and painfully true parade of suburban nightmares, I realised that I had met at least six 'Beverleys'. I had encountered the same pretentious, insensitive, overbearing, condescending and brutish mannerisms. Alison Steadman embodies the lot; an eyeball-searing vision in orange nylon with a voice that can scape wax out of your inner ear! For much of the play, I laughed at Beverley's indulgent glee in 'welcoming' her guests and hectoring her husband. For the last twenty minutes, I was holding my hands to my face and muttering 'God, no! God, please no!' at every ghastly verbal brickbat and physical impasse. It makes me wonder if Ricky Gervais and his 'Office' crew had this on a loop. David Brent's manners seem ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Clubbed To Death [1998] starring: Ã‰lodie Bouchez, Roschdy Zem, BÃ©atrice Dalle, Richard Courcet, GÃ©rald Thomassin directed by: Yolande Zauberman June 22, 1998 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£3.49
I can understand that the drug culture, club culture is enthralling and interesting. Hollywood has, like every other aspect of life, exploited this. However, even when you take a toned down film about a french girl lost in an adult world of fake happiness, it still comes down to a simple equation: a film about a girl doing drugs, getting lost, finding a bloke, bit of agro, all happy in the end. Thousands af people go clubbing in london every weekend. The drug culture is only interesting to those who have never encountered it. As for the quite footsteps and melodic techno, i think the film was built more around the music than around the club culture in france precipitating in a film which says that clubbing is fun if you take care and don't let strange men try ...

Average Rating:	The Devils [1971] starring: Oliver Reed, Vanessa Redgrave directed by: Ken Russell August 13, 1990 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£7.98
This movie is no easier to sit through than it was when it was first released. It's a graphic, grim, horrific look at the confusion, superstition and religious frenzy that took place in a small French province during the reign of Louis XIII, when Cardinal Richelieu reigned supreme and "the Inquisition" had made its way from Spain. The Huxley novel and Whiting play from which it was adapted are well worth looking into, as both do more than adequate jobs at telling the same story. I believe this was Russell's finest effort, his perfect medium. It is a subject that calls for histrionic direction, of which Ken is the exemplar. He turned his actors and technicians loose and the result is emotional and graphic overload, but (and this is an exception in his ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Stalker [1979] starring: Aleksandr Kaidanovsky, Alisa Frejndlikh, Anatoli Solonitsyn, Nikolai Grinko, Natasha Abramova directed by: Andrei Tarkovsky January 24, 2000 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£4.99
Watching Tarkovsky's Stalker was not an enjoyable experience, but it did make something about his achievement much clearer to me. In this film, and in most of his work that I have seen, Tarkovsky tells the viewer nothing: no plot, no characters, no resolution. He sets up an ambience through beautifully textured photography and lighting, stunning command of soundscapes, and a carefully undefined nexus of meaning. Then he allows the viewer to create a meaning. For some it is an overwhelming experience, for others a bore. This is not cinema as we normally know it but much closer to the effect of great poetry. It is sound and setting used as metaphor by means of which we can create what we can. Or not. Forget the Strugatsky's Roadside Picnic (just as you had ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Three Colours Blue [1993] starring: Juliette Binoche, Zbigniew Zamachowski, Julie Delpy, BenoÃ®t RÃ©gent, Florence Pernel directed by: Krzysztof Kieslowski March 07, 1994 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£0.72
Firstly, I think I understand the views of those reviewers who did not like this film, but for me, it exemplifies everything I love about French cinema. A magnificent film score and poignantly apt camera-work make their mark, but this is Juliet Binoche's film and once again, she effortlessly demonstrates her greatness in every single scene. This film will not appeal to everyone and it doesn't try to, but it is worth viewing for the music and for the on-going acting masterclass that is Juliet Binoche. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Muriel's Wedding [1995] starring: Toni Collette, Rachel Griffiths, Bill Hunter, Sophie Lee, Roz Hammond directed by: P.J. Hogan March 25, 1996 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£0.01
I cannot believe that this film was actually made and people paid money to see it. This is my alltime worst film and the only reason I haven't reviewed it until now was because I was trying to sell a copy I had. A copy that I was duped into buying because it said "funniest comedy of the year" on the back. I can only assume it was talking about the year of the great depression! The only reason I have given this one star is because it is impossible not to. If you have not already seen this film, count yourself as blessed. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Jour De Fete [1949] starring: Jacques Tati, Guy Decomble, Paul Frankeur, Santa Relli, Maine VallÃ©e directed by: Jacques Tati November 29, 2004 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema		Used Price: Â£6.40
This has to be the second funiest film ever, behind Mr Hulots Holiday! Has many classic moments. In particular the lamp post scene! Good music too! >>More Details
