Look for Elevator To The Gallows on cable

It is in black & white & reminds you a lot of Hitchcock. Worth a look

It is getting a lot of play recently

A very long engaement is a great Audrey Tatou movie if you like french movies

My father's glory &
My mother's castle are also very well done

I really want to see Venus salon now...


Fear no more the heat o' the sun, Nor the furious winter's rages; Thou thy worldly task hast done, Home art gone and ta'en thy wages: Golden lads and girls all must, As chimney-sweepers, come to dust. ~Cymbeline

Besides A Very Long Engagement, I loved The Chorus. (I'm not so good with French spelling, but you know what I'm talking about.)

There's also Flower of Evil, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Every movie needs a little bit of incest...

Les Choristes is an amazing French movie, if anybody needs a good movie to watch.
