1.A World Apart [1988] (REGION 1) (NTSC) starring: Barbara Hershey, David Suchet, Jodhi May, Jeroen Krabbé, Nadine Chalmers directed by: Chris Menges August 23, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details
I saw this movie only once, in 1988 and never forgot it. This is a deep and meaningful story (a true story if I remember correctly), with outstanding photography, that stand as a testimony of an era: Apartheid. My English and History teachers thought it was a good movie for a school outing, to raise our awareness of geo-politics, and they couldn't have been more right. I'm French and at the time, I had been learning English for 5 years. My class saw it in the original english version, but that didn't matter; the difficulty of the accent, and therefore reading subtitles took nothing away from its beauty, and its impact. In 1988, Nelson Mandela was still in prison, and Zola Budd was making the news for allegedly running in South Africa ... Read More:

3.The Lost Son [1999] starring: Daniel Auteuil, Nastassja Kinski, Katrin Cartlidge, Marianne Denicourt, Ciarán Hinds directed by: Chris Menges October 28, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £6.49
Awesome film, well worth watching, although some scenes are a bit disturbing, as they relate to child abuse and leave you thinking...I can't believe this really does happen. Overall, a first class thriller with a little surprise at the end, great plot and excellent performances from all the cast.

7.Second Best starring: William Hurt, Nathan Yapp, Keith Allen, Chris Cleary Miles, Doris Irving directed by: Chris Menges
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £52.21
A surprisingly high quality understated piece about two socially maladjusted people who didn't realise how they need each other. Chris Cleary Miles is excellent as the volatile young James, who knows he has a past to deal with, and has love hate feelings towards his natural father. William Hurt plays the forty something village postmaster Graham, a batchelor who wants to adopt the ten-year-old james. Graham is forced to confront his own childhood as James sees through the veneer that Graham has carefully cultivated. James, in his turn, learns that the giving of trust is a risk worth taking. I cried the first few times I saw it. This is not schmaltz.
