“Tchao Pantin” is another fantastic discovery by Radiance Films. This French neo-noir from 1983 features excellent performances, great direction by Claude Berri, and wonderful cinematography by Bruno Nuytten. Highly recommended!
Le Mépris is one of Godard’s finest works. The film finds Godard working with amazing collaborators (Coutard, Bardot, Piccoli, Delerue) to create a memorable work of art at the peak of his powers. The 4K release is beautiful.
Shock Treatment is at once an effective thriller and a clever social commentary. Alain Delon and Annie Girardot are both great in their roles. The film benefits from lush cinematography by Jacques Robin. Severin Films have released the film on Blu-ray.
The Big Bad Fox and Other Tales is one of the funniest children’s films I saw in 2019.
