Miscellaneous French films Vol. 9 RECOMMENDED VIDEOS Wild Reeds (1995) Starring: Elodie Bouchez, Gaël Morel, Stéphane Rideau, Frédéric Gorny, Michèle Moretti, et al. Director: Andre Téchiné Rated: NR Edition Details: NTSC format (VHS, for use in U.S. and Canada only); Subtitles in English; Color Usually ships within 24 hours. ASIN: 6304161492 List Price: $ 29.98 --- Our Price: $25.49 You Save: $4.49 (15%) This resonant, engrossing 1994 film by André Téchiné (Thieves ) is an unusual coming-of-age story set at a French boarding school in 1962, when news of France's war in Algeria is still plentiful. Téchiné focuses on a handful of students, measuring their transition into adulthood against the reality of love, sex, and the war's controversial cost. Strikingly sensitive and sophisticated, beautifully dramatized, and perfectly acted by a young cast, the film feels like one of those universal touchstones for the final days of childhood grace. Téchiné's typically blunt-but-gentle manner is perfectly suited for this tale of youthful gains and losses. --Tom Keogh Battle of Algiers (1966) Starring: Yacef Saadi, et al. Director: Gillo Pontecorvo Rated: NR Edition Details: NTSC format (VHS, for use in U.S. and Canada only); Subtitles in English; Black & White, HiFi Sound Usually ships within 2-3 days. ASIN: 6302737249 List Price: $24.95 --- Our Price: $20.99 You Save: $3.96 (16%) "The Battle of Algiers" depicts the struggle to create an independent Algerian state, from the beginnings of rebellion in 1954 to the country's eventual liberation in 1962. This docudrama combines some actual newsreel footage with staged sequences featuring amateur and professional actors playing characters based on real people. It emphasizes the organization of guerrilla forces and the methods used by the French government to stifle resistance. Winner of 11 International Film awards.
