New Stuff: In the Bedroom


A movie supposedly heavily influenced by Stanley Kubrick: need to see.


Jess Koops

I read about the movie adaptation, titled Enemy, and decided to read the book first.

Lymelife (2008)


A family unit begins to bow under the pressure of a failing marriage.
A subtle slice of suburbian life on the verge of tragedy, well balanced with a superb cast.

Maltin***: "Coming-of age tale set in Long Island in 1979...covers familiar turf with some original touches and winning performaces. Lean, independent film..."


Raniely Linhares


New Stuff: Pierre Alexandre Tremblay


My pal Gerhard recommended this composer who combines modern composition with free jazz elements; I was enthusiastic.

Je n'ai rien oublié (2010)


Struck with Alzheimer's, the handyman of a rich Swiss-German family divulges embarrassing memories.

Agreeable French tragicomedy; as so often, Depardieu steals the show.
