Dutronc, Jacques

My Nights are More Beautiful Than your Days

Cult French singer Jacques Dutronc stars as computer whiz-kid Lucas in this incisive drama from Polish director Andrzej Zulawski (who starred in the 2003 remake of DANGEROUS LIAISONS). Jubilant at having invented a new computer language Lucas's reverie is cut short when he is informed that he has a terminal illness which is gradually eroding his memory. Distraught at this news Marcel's life is unexpectedly brightened by the appearance of Blanche (Sophie Marceau) with whom he enjoys a romantic liaison. Both are aware that their time will be cut short by Lucas's condition adding an intriguing twist to their relationship. A fascinating study of a highly unusual relationship Zulawski's film is a deeply affecting film that is soaked with sadness and thematically similar to Luis Malle's DAMAGE.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA Rating: NR UPC: 873820000082 Manufacturer No: SKDDV446078

Merci Pour le Chocolat

Chabrol, the most Hitchcockian of the New Wave directors, has fashioned a delectable psychological thriller that rivals his classics La Ceremonie, Madame Bovary, The Story of Women, and Les Biches. MERCI POUR LE CHOCOLAT is vintage Charbrol, with intricate plots that wend their way in a playful yet suspenseful manner through the elegant homes of several well-heeled French-Swiss in Lausanne, Switzerland. Starring renowned actress Isabelle Huppert (The Piano Teacher; 8 Women; School of Flesh), and co-starring French singing legend Jacques Dutronc (Vincent).

Isabelle Huppert stars as Mika, the oh-so-perfect head of a company than manufactures Swiss chocolate; Jacques Dutronc is Andre, her suave, concert pianist husband whose previous wife died years ago in a mysterious car accident. How is it that Andre's teenage son has no musical talent, while the stunning Jeanne, who shares his birthday, is already a world-class pianist? And why does Huppert insist that everyone sip the hot chocolate she prepares so faithfully each evening? Chabrol has fashioned a delectable mystery, dipped in darkest Swiss chocolate.

With quiet dialogue, an understated mis-en-scene, and extraordinary acting, Chabrol has once again given us an enjoyable treat of a mystery, one that gleefully references Alfred Hitchcock, Fritz Lang... and Claude Chabrol.
