    Les disparus de Rambouillet – 53 min
    That’s the first episode I Watch from this old french TV series from the seventies. I don’t remind it when I was a kid. Well it’s not charmless, but it grew very old, if I explain it in the right way. A story of mystery, with much senseless and humor, a show for the whole family, kids, parents grand parents…I am sure to see all of them, but am not sure if I’ll comment them all. This episode is about disappearing folks in Rambouillet forest, near Paris. So a special squad from the police headquarters is in charge of those missing persons. What could I add more ? One little weird thing, in line of this TV series: the director – Claude Guillemot – himself went in the twilight zone – disappeared – during seventeen years, between 70 and 87, before a comeback. Where the hell did he go during all that time. In Rambouillet forest? by IMDB user GUENOT PHILIPPERead More »

  • Alain Cavalier – La Rencontre (1996)

    Alain Cavalier1991-2000ArthouseFrance

    PLOT SUMMARY:
    Formal to the point of mystification, Alain Cavalier’s La Rencontre is a bittersweet love story shot from the most oblique of angles. Two voices – one a man’s, one a woman’s – discuss a series of objects, views, pictures and body parts, swapping observations back and forth. In between listing and analyzing this parade of possessions, the film’s “characters” read each other poems, tell each other anecdotes, describe their dreams, name their hopes and fears.
    Eventually, we realize they love each other; equally eventually, they realize they may no longer do so.Read More »
