Brilliantly inventive sight and sound gags follow the highly distracted Mr. Hulot wherever he goes.

Tati won an Oscar® for his classic comic vision of 20th-century technology.

The 400 Blows [VHS]  

The 400 Blows [VHS]

Rated: NR (Not Rated)
Staring: Jean-Pierre Léaud, Albert Rémy, Claire Maurier, Guy Decomble, Georges Flamant
Director: François Truffaut
Francois Truffaut's first feature was this 1959 portrait of Antoine Doinel (Jean-Pierre Léaud), a boy who turns to petty crime in the face of neglect at home and hard times at a reform school. Somewhat autobiographical for its director, the film helped usher in the heady spirit of the French New Wave, and introduced the Doinel character, who became a fixture in Truffaut's movies over the years. Poignant, exhilarating, and fun (there's a parade of cameo appearances from some of the essential icons and directors from the movement), this film is an important classic. --Tom Keogh

My Man [VHS]  

My Man [VHS]

Rated: NR (Not Rated)
Staring: Anouk Grinberg, Gérard Lanvin, Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, Olivier Martinez, Dominique Valadié
Director: Bertrand Blier
Bertrand Blier, the French filmmaker who's made a profession out of aggressive but darkly poetic political incorrectness since 1973's scandalous Going Places, relates the story of a disconcertingly happy hooker in My Man. Marie, played by Blier's current muse, tiny, intense Anouk Grinberg, plies her trade in a Parisian passageway, where she revels in her spidery power to seduce and satisfy any passing male. Marie's unfettered sexuality combines with her equally strong motherly instincts (the oldest and most reliably shocking of Blier's themes) when she finds the scruffy, smelly Jeannot (Gérard Lanvin) sleeping in the hall. She takes him in, and makes him her pimp--a "nice pimp," she says, who will remember her birthday.

My Man suffers from Blier's congenital thir...

Small Change [VHS]  

Small Change [VHS]

Rated: PG (Parental Guidance Suggested)
Staring: René Barnerias, Jean-Marie Carayon, Katy Carayon, Annie Chevaldonne, Claudio De Luca
Critic Pauline Kael neatly summed up the timeless appeal of François Truffaut's 1976 film by calling it "that rarity--a poetic comedy that's really funny." In other words, Truffaut's brilliant, upbeat study of resilient children in a French village is both artistically satisfying and joyously entertaining, proving yet again (after his acclaimed debut film The 400 Blows) that few directors remembered and understood the experience of childhood as clearly as Truffaut. The film's episodic structure reveals its young characters gradually, leaving them and returning to them as their individual stories unfold. Most of the sketches are hilarious (as when a little girl uses a megaphone to announce that she's been "abandoned," resulting in generous gifts of food from her surrounding neighbor...

L'Argent [VHS]  

L'Argent [VHS]

Rated: NR (Not Rated)
Staring: Christian Patey, Sylvie Van den Elsen, Michel Briguet, Vincent Risterucci, Caroline Lang
Director: Robert Bresson
Robert Bresson always claimed his films are about hope and redemption, but so many end in death or suicide that it's a struggle to reconcile the statement with his films. His final film, based on Leo Tolstoy's story The Counterfeit Note, is no different. It's the harrowing tale of an innocent man, Yvon (Christian Patey), whose victimization at the hands of an arrogant upper-class delinquent and a greedy shop owner sends him on a downward spiral into a life of crime. The once-happy husband and father turns bitter, angry, self-pitying, and ultimately coldly brutal in the chilling conclusion. It's Bresson's most expansive film and biggest canvas, weaving the paths of numerous characters across Yvon's journey, but he edits with jackrabbit jumps, running headlong through the story with ...

Day of the Jackal [VHS]  

Day of the Jackal [VHS]

Rated: PG (Parental Guidance Suggested)
Staring: Edward Fox, Terence Alexander, Michel Auclair, Alan Badel, Tony Britton
With its high-intensity plot about an attempt to assassinate French President Charles de Gaulle, the bestselling novel by Frederick Forsyth was a prime candidate for screen adaptation. Director Fred Zinnemann brought his veteran skills to bear on what has become a timeless classic of screen suspense. Not to be confused with the later remake The Jackal starring Bruce Willis (which shamelessly embraced all the bombast that Zinnemann so wisely avoided), this 1973 thriller opts for lethal elegance and low-key tenacity in the form of the Jackal, the suave assassin played with consummate British coolness by Edward Fox. He's a killer of the highest order, a master of disguise and international elusiveness, and this riveting film follows his path to de Gaulle with an intense, straightforwar...

The School of Flesh [VHS]  

The School of Flesh [VHS]

Rated: R (Restricted)
Staring: Isabelle Huppert, Vincent Martinez, Vincent Lindon, Marthe Keller, François Berléand
Director: Benoît Jacquot
Perhaps only the French could create a movie with the sexual heat of The School of Flesh. International star Isabelle Huppert, a strawberry-blonde beauty with brimming blue eyes, is Dominique, a successful businesswoman of "a certain age." Quentin (model-pretty Vincent Martinez) is a bisexual male hustler half her age. They begin an affair after meeting at a disco, and their relationship turns toxic in short order--a compulsion that neither can shake, with negative consequences for both. Each is drawn inexorably into a hurtful game of cat and mouse, switching roles back and forth with every round. More than anything else, the film does a truly convincing job of depicting the exquisite pain of addictive relationships. It is impossible not to become drawn into the enticing energy of ...
