***I haven't seen "Ridicule"

I am pretty sure you will love it, it is quite entertaining.

***but I saw the "Woman Next Door" with her and Depardieu.

That one I have mixed emotions about. At any rate, a good movie to see, almost a must see.

***I also remember a few years ago when I was in Paris there were dozens of billboards tooting the theatrical production of the "Pedale Douce" with Pierre Richard and possibly Ardant(I know she was in the film adaptation of the play as well).

Have not seen this one, I believe it was never released here - right?

***You are so obviously right about the "schooling" of Hollywood actors. I suggested to my brother going to the Lee Strasberg academy because it was a good way for him to stop going to Russian restaurants and getting into fights in LA. He took classes there for close to a year, and studied with some people who were already making films.
After that he had one small role in some independant film(didn't get paid) and a main part in some ins.co. commercial. When he told me how much he got paid for one day's work - my jaw dropped(good thing I'm a dentist - fixed it myself),I'm not going to give you the number but it was A LOT!

Yes, I can imagine, although the life of young actors is usually full of tables, and few auditions... it is tough.

***I just got 2 video tapes - Agonia and Pepel and Almaz(Ashes & Diamonds). I'm watching the latter. Will report as soon as...

Which Agonia is that? The Russian one?

Pepel is one of my all-times favorites, so I would be very curious to hear your reaction. Of course, I saw it when it was released, so it was much, much more pertinent then. Hard to predict how it would sit today with the Manhattan crowd.

Did you know that Wajda also made the move called Ashes, about the Polish officers joining Napoleon in 1812? A very interesting movie as well.
