An engaging and influential foreign language film about a young woman named Amelie (Audrey Tautou) who finds a long-hidden toy box. After finding that returning the toy box to it’s now owner, now elderly, leaves her feeling fulfilled, prompting her to do other random acts of kindness. Sadly, wh… |

Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines – as the phrase went back in the day. Magnificent indeed, but also jaded, troubled, and struggling with the fact that so little of them ever make it through WWI sotries alive. Aces High takes a soft-pedal (well, soft for a 70’s movie anyway) look a… |

I can’t really remember why I added this to my Netflix queue, probably something about the description of a hot French woman who is trying to figure out her sexuality. That makes perfect sense. Blue tries to get deep about it all by drawing parallels to the lessons Adele (the woman) is learning … |

Dangerously seductive, visually intoxicating, intellectually playful, Pauline at the Beach is très français. Bien sûr, very, very French. Éric Rohmer was past 60 when he made it, but his cinematic vision of an older man seducing a hot Parisian blonde proved he hadn’t lost touch with his inner…
