151.Xala [1974] starring: Makhouredia Gueye, Dieynaba Niang, Dyelea Touré, Myriam Niang, Younouss Seye directed by: Ousmane Sembene August 29, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details
This film is a marvellous satire with a moral message. It is where a modern African businessman comes up against tradition. He believes that a spell has been cast on him rendering him impotent when taking a third wife. His attempts to solve the problem can be quite funny. The pace of the film is steady with a good narrative. Highly entertaining throughout.

152.Vacas [1992] starring: Emma Suárez, Carmelo Gómez, Ana Torrent, Karra Elejalde, Klara Badiola directed by: Julio Medem June 24, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £6.84
Well it looks like we're gonna have to raise the star score for this absolutely beautiful film; so here I go. I first discovered Medem's work in The Red Squirel. I didn't think he could possibly better that surreal gem but came very close to eating my words when I finally got round to seeing Vacas. What appears to be cosy pastoral drama about two intertwined families is so much more than it initially seems. Spanning over 60 years from the Carlist Wars to the Spanish Civil War this film is a dreamy study of major events in spanish history and how they disrupt the interminable cycle of rural life. This repetition of growth, birth and death is cleverly portrayed through use of the same actors playing the successive ... Read More:

153.In The Mood For Love [2000] starring: Maggie Cheung, Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Ping Lam Siu, Tung Cho 'Joe' Cheung, Rebecca Pan directed by: Kar Wai Wong April 16, 2001

Let's face it: over the last few years, Tartan have put out a lot of shabby, low-contrast, single-layer DVDs of important foreign films, so it's a relief to say that this is not one of them! There are two dual-layer discs, with the film looking as good as you'd hope and lashings of imaginative extras on disc two. The Criterion may still have the edge, but it's pretty close.

155.The Blue Kite [1993] starring: Tian Yi, Wenyao Zhang, Xiaoman Chen, Liping Lu, Quanxin Pu directed by: Zhuangzhuang Tian December 05, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £8.64
This is an intimate chronicle of a beleaguered family just trying to get by in the chaos of China in the 50s and 60s. We watch, hoping against hope that they will make it, as first the Rectification Movement, then the Great Leap Forward and finally, the coup de grace, the Cultural Revolution, tear this gentle family apart, until, like the Blue Kite, trapped in a tree, they are left in tatters. Family life always has to come second to Maoist ideology and at one point an official says to a young girl, "I hear you have a boyfriend. Why haven't you reported it? Let me remind you: politics always comes first." The two central characters are the boy, Tietou, played in his infancy, childhood and teens by three different actors, ... Read More:

156.The Killing Fields [1984] starring: Sam Waterston, Haing S. Ngor, John Malkovich, Julian Sands, Craig T. Nelson directed by: Roland Joffé February 19, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.24
This is a beautifully made, moving film depicting the harsh regime of the Khmer Rouge communist revolutionaries in 1970's Cambodia. The film focuses on the real-life relationship between Cambodian Dith Pran and American journalist Sidney Schanberg. The acting is superb, particularly from Dr. Haing S Ngor who played the part of Dith Pran and who did himself survive the Killing Fields. In my opinion, it is necessary to have a background knowledge of the political events during this time (eg. the Cambodian government being overthrown by the Khmer Rouge and the subsequent evacuation of the cities) as without this, the film may be confusing in parts. However, this DVD does helpfully give the viewer the option to choose a brief historical recounting of ... Read More:

157.City Of Joy [1992] starring: Patrick Swayze, Om Puri, Pauline Collins, Shabana Azmi, Ayesha Dharker directed by: Roland Joffé November 01, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.75
Once in a while a film comes along that has the power to change your mind about certain pre-conceived ideas. This is one such film. City of Joy never shys away from the power of its message and its graphic picture of life in a poor part of a large and spralling Indian city. Yes, at times it can be a little hard to swallow - the big American doctor (Patrick Swayze) waltzing onto the scene - but its not over sickly sweet and you come away feeling that you have been taught a valuable lesson. That life is for living, not for spectating and you must live each moment and treasure each experience; savour it. You never know when it can be taken from you.

159.Altered States [1980] starring: William Hurt, Blair Brown, Bob Balaban, Charles Haid directed by: Ken Russell May 20, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £2.69
William Hurt is fantastic in this film as the brilliant scientist (Dr. Eddie Jessup) who is disillusioned with 'normal' life & seeking a greater truth beyond the boundaries of science & religion. The supporting cast are also brilliant. Blair Brown as Jessup's long suffering & concerned wife, Bob Balaban as his friend & colleague, Arthur (a familiar face from films such as close Encounters of the third kind & 2010) & Charles Haid as the highrate a initially highly sceptical (and it his to be said hugely entertaining) Mason Parish. Often these types of films can come across as cheesy & more comical than frightening. This is more often than not accompanied by poor acting, which doesn't help matters as the actors rarely come across as ... Read More:

160.L'Homme De Ma Vie [1995] starring: Maria de Medeiros, Thierry Fortineau, Jean-Pierre Bacri, Anne Létourneau, Ginette Garcin directed by: Jean Charles Tacchella January 17, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £2.00
This film is about two people who do not know a whole lot about love. The woman is interested in marriage, purely to be supported by a man. The man, has little faith in love, prefers to have casual relationships and seems happy to go about his bachelor business. The two lives soon co-join and the viewer is presented with a study on how their attitudes and feelings towards one another change. It is a refreshing film in its portrayal of this unconvential romance. Above all, it is a French film which is light-hearted, warm and will leave a smile on your face, mixed with a few insights on the timeless problems. The soundtrack also is worth mentionning - it is warm and fun, adding to this romantic comedy. I would consider buying it if you are after some intelligently ... Read More:
