The Umbrellas Of Cherbourg (Parapluies de Cherbourg, Les)
Visually stunning French film. If you don’t like musicals, just turn down the sound and read the subtitles… you won’t know you’re watching one.

An ingaging film about corruption, power and the law. There are threads of dark comedy mixed in with the tense drama and a bouncy score by Ennio Morricone to boot.
Mildly entertaining, but caters too much to the Shrek crowd.
You’d be hard pressed to find a movie that hated its female characters any more than this one does. This is some sleazy film making with some effective murder scenes and a nice soundtrack.
Dario Argento’s political farce. Has many funny moments, but is very confusing if you don’t know the history of The Five Days. Gets a bit too heavy handed near the end.
Horrible quality video. A giallo that isn’t quite as stylish as its contemporaries, but has a solid plot and some great pacing and direction. Story of a series of murders in a fashion house that entangle a blind composer.
Mediocre ghost story in which bursts of sped-up film and of quick cuts are a lame substitute for real cinematic suspense and horror. Plot is alright up until about the halfway point.
Absolutely horrible. It was like a student film from a C student. The overly loud sound of chirping insects will drive you nuts. Literally nothing happens until about 56 minutes in the film.
Gangster/mad scientist movie that is only worth watching tsee the satyr burlesque number in the middle of the film.
What’s not to love about a gory thriller/comedy that makes fun of art scene-sters.
