Buy new: £7.38 / Used from: £14.25
So it's got a field in it - so what! - classic means a lot of people bought it later and didn't see it at the cinema - pastoral dreaming for people dissolved from the reality of life
La Reine Margot [1993]La Reine Margot [1993]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.75
Colour but no substance - Mills and Boon in technicolour, fine if predictable is your thing maybe
The Daughter of Emanuelle [1978]The Daughter of Emanuelle [1978]

How many of this trash did they make? Em in space had me laughing though
Betty Blue (Subtitled) (DVD) [1986]Betty Blue (Subtitled) (DVD) [1986]

Why do people insist on calling this art when really they just want to ogle Dalle

Buy new: £6.98
Unbelievable romance and what's that ending about!?!
Madame Bovary [1991]Madame Bovary [1991]

Dated, a real shame for a very misunderstood work. BBC one now out on DVD though.
Romance [1999]Romance [1999]

Better than her other one but not by much (clearly no idea of labour either)
Mirror [1974]Mirror [1974]

Intellectual snobbery = Tarkovsky - watch Bergman/Kieslowski instead.
The Warrior [2002]The Warrior [2002]

Boring as hell and not well done on any account - avoid
La Dolce Vita [1960]La Dolce Vita [1960]

Oh my GOD! what is this !?!?!
Girl on the Bridge [1999]Girl on the Bridge [1999]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £4.96
Paradis cannot act, colourless, in all respects - Auteuil tries but film is doomed
Red Lights [2004]Red Lights [2004]
Buy new: £19.99 / Used from: £4.50
Insipid, trying to be clever, like Breillats. He drives, drinks, drives, drinks some more -uses the phone, drives again - the end.
The Piano Teacher [2001]The Piano Teacher [2001]
Buy new: £5.68 / Used from: £4.24
Predictable repression, unbelievable obsession, tepid perversion and a piano. No depth/explanation, just a repetitive shock fest. Unmoving.

Buy new: £8.88 / Used from: £5.89
Ghost In The Shell [1995]Ghost In The Shell [1995]

Monotone American dubbing, confusing story, child manga type
Code Unknown [2001]Code Unknown [2001]
Buy new: £5.98 / Used from: £3.95
I tried to like this film - ultimately it's nothing new and relies on easy stereotypes and evasion tactics
Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter And Spring [2004]Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter And Spring [2004]
Buy used from: £16.95
Don't believe the reviews, it isn't Buddhist or even particularly beautiful - there's no divine messages in it either. Watch Jibeuro (The Way Home) instead.
The Chorus [2004]The Chorus [2004]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £4.50
I felt in the depths of despair - a surge of hope...that this film would soon end. Action - reaction = prefabricated cinematic success.
Lilya 4 Ever [2002]Lilya 4 Ever [2002]
Buy new: £8.77 / Used from: £5.89
Completely fake, another docusoap effort that's got nothing real or deep to it
