Acclaimed French director Jacques Rivette (PARIS BELONGS TO US, VA SAVOIR) takes on Emily Bronte's classic novel, WUTHERING HEIGHTS. Rivette takes the dramatic tale of Heathcliff and Catherine, two tormented lovers, and resets it in the 1930's French countryside. One of the great love stories of all time, this 1985 production is moving and heartbreaking.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseWidescreen - 1.78Audio: Dolby Digital Mono - English

MY WIFE IS AN ACTRESS is a clever French comedy from Yvan Attal, who directs, produces, and stars in the film. Jealous and paranoid, Yvan (Attal) is the husband of Charlotte (Charlotte Gainsbourg), a popular young actress who is constantly being cast in starring roles opposite attractive and seductive male actors. This drives Yvan crazy. But because he loves her, he must let her pursue her career dreams. A sports writer who operates in a world that is equally exciting, if not quite as glamorous, Yvan's own career is always secondary to Charlotte's. When she travels to London to work on her latest film, sharing the screen with the studly older actor, John (Terence Stamp), Yvan makes furious and impulsive trips via Eurostar back and forth between Paris and London. He worries that his marriage with Charlotte will not withstand the weight of his heartache. Meanwhile, his sister (Noemie Lvovsky) and her husband (Laurent Bateau) face marital dilemmas of their own as they debate whether to circumcise the baby boy they're expecting. These story lines converge, resulting in some very funny moments and some heartfelt commentary on the difficulties of relationships. A strong soundtrack combines jazz and modern pop songs.This film was included in the 31st New Directors/New Films 2002 series presented by The Film Society of Lincoln Center and The Department of Film and Media of The Museum of Modern Art in New York City.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseWidescreenAudio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Audio Commentary - 1.

This Israeli movie by Boaz Davidson is a touching and funny coming-of-age film about thirteen year old Alex, who falls head over heals in love for the first time. Sounds harmless enough on the surface, but this romantic comedy set during the years of Israeli independence is at times pretty racy stuff. There is a twist with the romantic love interest, a seductive older relative from Poland who has mysterious ties to Alex's family. Suddenly his crush on a schoolgirl deflates, eclipsed by the ravishing Lola. Only European films seem to pull off this kind of stunt and turn it into something incredibly charming and, in fact, beautiful.DVD Features:Region (unknown)Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33
