Summary: 5 Stars

a masterpiece of cinema by one of the masters of cinema, surrealism Luis Bunuel:)

I have a favorite picture from 1967 Venice film festival "il regista Luis Bunuel con l'attore Jean Sotrel

Movie Review: Magnifique
Summary: 5 Stars

Belle De Jour is one of the best French films of all time (and indeed one of the best films, period). Deneuve, captured at the peak of her remarkable physical beauty, gives arguably her finest "ice queen" performance as a woman leading a bizarre double life where fantasy and reality begin to blend into one. The film's frank (and often humorous) portrayal of lust, infidelity, and madness manages to alternately amuse and disturb the viewer. A classic that is worth owning and revisiting many times.

Movie Review: It's About Time
Summary: 5 Stars

"Belle De Jour" belongs one of those films that blur the boundary between reality and dreams. The result is a totally hypnotic, mesmerizing journey with the ever-gorgeous Deneuve. Bunuel has again achieved what conventional narrative structure could never reach. This is a definitely must-see if you enjoy exploring subconscious and inmost desires.

The features of the DVD includes Audio commentary by Bunuel scholar Julie Jones; Original U.S. theatrical trailer; 1995 re-issue trailer.


Movie Review: DENEUVE AND BUNUEL SPELL A FILM BETTER THAN ANYTHING IN THE PAST FORTY YEARS
Summary: 5 Stars

This one simple French film by a wonderful Spanish ex-patriate (escaping the fascist dictator Franco) director beats anything since produced. Julia Roberts looks very very sad in comparison.

Not just a chick flick. Get this movie and weep for the horror which is HOllywood, and the monopolization of our art and culture. This is art. This is culture. This is one steamy flick.

So. Go. Learn French. This film gives reason.

Movie Review: Belle de jour
Summary: 5 Stars

Peppered with Buñuel's surrealistic touches, the film switches from reality to dream sequences so seamlessly that it's often difficult to tell which is which. Regardless, "Belle" addresses some of Buñuel's signature themes: the well-ordered, vacuous lives of the upper middle-class bourgeoisie, and the dark desires lurking beneath those placid facades. "Belle" is a multi-layered, mesmerizing work, and Deneuve, as always, is exquisite.
