Poll; what are you doing?

I’m in French class……we are watching a movie called “Au Revoir Les Enfants” by Louis Malle:/

I’m in my room. I’m trying to finish homework.

Zazie en el metro (Louis Malle)

Au revoir les enfants (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] $24.37 The long shadow of Malle’s autobiographical memoir of occupied France continues to fall heavily across subsequent representations of World War II, boarding school, and male adolescence–in fact, it would be difficult to identify a recent film that addresses these concerns and does not, in some substantial way, echo Au Revoir Les Enfants. The straightforward, unsentimental, gutsy Enfants finds its …

Au Revoir Les Enfants [VHS] $16.50 The long shadow of Malle’s autobiographical memoir of occupied France continues to fall heavily across subsequent representations of World War II, boarding school, and male adolescence–in fact, it would be difficult to identify a recent film that addresses these concerns and does not, in some substantial way, echo Au Revoir Les Enfants.

Zazie dans le metro (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] $22.99 Louis Malle’s Zazie dans le métro is a delightful splash of slapstick and silliness, set against the dense background of Paris as if the City of Light were simply the best vaudeville stage ever constructed. The young star Catherine Demongeot is a madcap Zazie, a willful, mouthy country kid who’s in Paris to visit with her reluctant Uncle Gabriel (a properly befuddled Philippe Noiret). Zazie’s sol…

Pretty Baby $4.15 Louis Malle’s stunning and controversial look at 1910s New Orleans’ famed Storyville red light district, as seen through the eyes of photographer Keith Carradine, and at Carradine’s obsession with 12-year-old Brooke Shields, the daughter of prostitute Susan Sarandon. With Frances Faye, Antonio Fargas, Barbara Steele. 109 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital mono, French D…

Vanya on 42nd Street (Criterion Collection) $20.40 Exhilarating and unusual filming of Anton Chekhov’s “Uncle Vanya” as scripted by David Mamet and directed by Louis Malle. A group of actors who once performed in “Vanya” together meet in a vacant Times Square theater and re-enact the play under the guidance of director Andre Gregory. Wallace Shawn, Julianne Moore, Brooke Smith, and Larry Pines lead the stellar cast. 120 min. Widescreen (Enhanced);…

Ascenseur Pour L’Echafaud (Lift To The Scaffold): Original Soundtrack $4.23 Performed by a Miles Davis-fronted European band for a movie by Louis Malle, this music helped define the sound of film noir. It made viewers think the genre’s films had always sounded just so, with slow-walking bass beats and muted, slithering horn lines miming the characters on the screen–and underlining their emotions. The melodies here are brief fragments, sometimes rising up only to disappea…

Blues for a Black Cat and Other Stories (French Modernist Library) $10.45 “[This collection] displays Vian’s range from gallows humor to verbal fireworks, and happily serves to give visibility to this important writer.”- Publishers Weekly. “Ultimately, Blues for a Black Cat is a collection of moral fables, albeit fables told in a cynical, mocking voice and set in a skewed version of the real world. Under the surface absurdity and verbal play, they offer serious indictme…
