Comments

Les Demoiselles de Rochefort

1967 France

The most exhilarating of Jacques Demy's sung films. An ode to joy, happiness and enchanting potential of cinema.

Les VAMPIRES

1915 France

The primal scene of all action movies for 100 years. Fear as original emotion of cinema.

Les NUITS DE LA PLEINE LUNE

1984 France

The Rohmer system at its highest point of perfection.

Out 1

1990 France

One of the most radical reinventions of the form that a narrative can take in cinema.

Madame de...

1953 France, Italy

The greatest female role of all the history of cinema, the most marvellous of actresses and the most brilliant of directing as a setting.

Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles

1975 Belgium, France

When cinema invents a new territory housed in the heart of everyday life, and which has never been filmed.

Une SALE HISTOIRE

1977 France

The definitive theoretical treatise on the links between life and representation and the protocols of transformation from one to the other.

Home from the Hill

1959 USA

The wildest and the most heartbreaking melodrama on the ravages of toxic masculinity.

Imitation of Life

1959 USA

The genius of Douglas Sirk in his critical auscultation of the foundations of America.

Mulholland Dr.

2001 France, USA

A contemporary remix of Vertigo. So far, the most important movie of the 21st century.
