  Ridicule is weak but, Victor recommendation " La Nuit de Varennes " is very strong. And J.L. Barrault with Marcello!

    Acting is superb there... needless to say.

    But I don't quite agree with your opinion on Ridicule... I consider it light-hearted and witty, with good performances, unimposing and easy to flow with. Like your typical Louis XVI interior.

    And the great peeing scene is something to behold!

      I know we already discussed it. But as said the second viewing was disappointing...
      The Scola? I know only the French one!

      So I bought it as a present to my wife.

      We haven't seen it in ages, so I am sure she will enjoy that DVD.

      I shall let you know :-)

    Yes of course! Gance's Napoleon, which was wonderful to watch when it was re-released in the 80's with the restored 3 screen 'polyvision'.
    I have not seen 'Le Nuit de Varennes'. Harvey Keitel as Thomas Paine? Well, he was quite good as Fereau in 'The Duellists'. Thanks for that suggestion.

      I would love to see the Nuit again, so I looked on Amazon... there is no DVD, and the VHS tapes... man, they go for $109.00 USED!

      Forgossen...

      Sad... but I will check my rental store for sure.

        I bought the video store's VHS copy when they cleaned house last time...it's not in very good condition, drop-outs etc.

        Las Nuit de Varennes was on BRAVO or another cable channel (IFC?) about a year ago.
