Duncan Shepherd's extended meditation on French films such as Classe Tous Risques.

Posted by clarkjohnsen (R) on May 3, 2006 at 14:23:08

Duncan, the man!

When, some while back, I purchased my code-free DVD player online,
or my all-region DVD player as you prefer, I envisioned the
subsequent purchase of a festering list of titles, mostly French,
that I had hitherto been unable to catch up with on the big screen
or via VHS video and American-manufactured DVDs. Naturally I had
not bothered beforehand to research the practicability of the plan,
and I soon became disenchanted at the number of title searches on
French Amazon (amazon.fr) which came up empty. I had just assumed
that the Frenchman's pride in his cultural heritage ensured that
things like Yves Allégret's Une Si Jolie Petite Plage, Georges
Franju's Pleins Feux sur l'Assassin, André Delvaux's Un Soir un
Train, and Jacques Demy's Trois Places pour le 26 would have been
preserved posthaste on DVD, even if without English subtitles,
exclusively for the French market. I seemed to have been sorely
mistaken.
