Review:
Intriguing, beautifully photographed tale from Claude Lelouch ("A Man and A Woman") has Jeremy Irons as the prime suspect in a burglary when a cache of jewels vanishes from the hotel he's staying at in Morocco. But Irons, who suffers from a memory disorder, finds an unexpected ally in beautiful French singer Patricia Kaas, who provides him with an alibi despite not knowing him at all. Kaas, who suffers from the same affliction, embarks on a journey halfway around the world with Irons to a mysterious and enchanted village seeking a cure, while discovering a love that will radically change them. With Thierry Lhermitte, Alessandra Martines, Yvan Attal and Claudia Cardinale.

Eno Naka No Boku No


"Village of Dreams", the next dvd I've ordered:

An enchanting, blissful look at the magic and terror of childhood. Identical twin brothers, now successful artists, recall the summer of 1948 when they were eight years old and their Japanese village was a place full of wonder and magic. "The brats," as they were known, spend their days skinny dipping, fishing for eels and chasing birds in the woods - when they're not busy causing mischief at home or school. This visually ravishing film follows their adventures with humor and Zen-like clarity - powerfully evoking the boys' vibrant sensations and emotions.

a movie i picked

Enigma Of Kaspar Hauser, The (1974)

About a young man who in the 1820's suddenly appeared in a small German town, full-grown but seemingly a new born child, unable to speak and stand. Bruno S' performance is overpowering and the film, which follows the education of Kaspar, is a potent statement about the nature of civilisation.

People will need to consider the issue of Zones when ordering DVD. This will be a problem for some of us, if the movie is anything but Zone 4.
The Price of Milk may have been good but I was not able to watch it on my sustem.
And another thing, I went for a number of films but they were not available on DVD. Will we accept to watch movies on VHS?

This is fun, it requires some application but worth building up the skill level so that it gets easier.

I have started adding titles to 'My Picks", which you are welcome to use or ignore. Browsing brings up so many good possibilities for later.
