Sade (DVD)
At 50, Sade (Daniel Auteuil) has spent most of his life in unsanitary and dangerous prisons like the Bastille and Saint-Lazare. But he hasn't become hardened and bitter. Instead, he's rather wise, crafty, and very sexy. When he's sent to Picpus, the exclusive, aristocratic, convent-turned-prison, and meets the haughty, blossoming Emilie (Isild Le Besco) he has the opportunity to share his enlightenment. But Sade must be careful. Although Emilie is curious about what Sade can offer her, she is a feisty lass and is wary because of the rumors of Sade's scandalous past. Soon, though, the would-be lovers have bigger problems to attend to--Robespierre, his Cult of the Supreme Being, and the bloodiest phase of the Terror. Sade's mistress, Sensible (Marianne Denicourt), has been keeping them at bay by giving herself to Fournier (Gregoire Colin), a member of Robespierre's entourage. But how long will that ploy hold them back? And whose head will roll next?
Benoit Jacquot's film balances the hysteria of the Terror and the idleness of the French aristocracy with striking detail and poise. The sumptuous cinematography and spirited performances by Auteuil and newcomer Le Besco make SADE a film that is often funny, often frightening, and very entertaining.
This film was screened as part of the Rendez-Vous with French Cinema 2001 festival organized by The Film Society of Lincoln Center in New York City.

The Art of Looking in Hitchcock's Rear Window
One of the most popular thrillers of Alfred Hitchcock's middle years, Rear Window is now also recognized as one of the most brilliant demonstrations of the director's cinematic wizardry. Stefan Sharff (professor emeritus of Columbia University's film department) shows how Hitchcock achieved the mounting excitement and fear that mark this film. The Art Of Looking first provides a detailed overview of the Hitchcock's skill in developing the story from intriguing start to shattering climax. The Art Of Looking also provides a shot-by-shot analysis, and using the film's continuity as the text, describes how Hitchcock's technique accomplished its magic. Illustrated throughout with stills from the film, The Art Of Looking is a unique appreciation of the art of Alfred Hitchcock, made even more valuable by the first publication in any form of the full dialogue of a film screen masterpiece. No Hitchcock studies or film history collection can be considered complete without the inclusion of The Art...
