The words offbeat, personal and edgy used to be a draw for movie fare — we’d check out a new relationship picture based only on an actor or two that we liked. Bobby Roth’s semi-autobiographical buddy story has a good stab at the early ’80s art + singles scene in Los Angeles, with a dash of macho clichés — pals Peter Coyote and Nick Mancuso fight in public and somehow suffer while bedding fantastic women. But the overall vibe is one of honest sensitivity, aided by fine performances from Carole Laure, Kathryn Harrold and Carol Wayne. Plus music by Tangerine Dream.

Among authors who didn’t live to witness their own success, Louis Hemon is a particularly unfortunate case — his novel “Maria Chapdelaine” was published in 1913, the same year as his train-struck death. Thus he didn’t see it become an early Quebec-lit classic taught to generations of schoolchildren, published in translation worldwide or adapted into many other media over the past century. Among prior screen versions were two made in his native France, the 1934 one notable as Julien Duvivier’s first collaboration with Jean Gabin.
The slim book, drawing on adventure-seeking Hemon’s own experiences briefly working as a farmhand in the Lac Saint-Jean region, has been treated with less-than-strict fidelity by previous dramatists. Sebastien Pilote’s new film is probably the most faithful to date by far — though that isn’t entirely a plus. . It’s a well-produced episodic tale whose incidents and personalities remain too modest to sustain nearly three hours’ illustration,...

Raoul (Gérard Depardieu) really wants his wife Solange (Carole Laure) to be happy. She’s become depressed and prone to dizzy spells, and he doesn’t know what to do. Furiously, and loudly, discussing this with her in public, Raoul is sure he notices her eyeing a bearded fellow sitting alone across the room. Raoul asks to sit next to the man, Stéphane (Patrick Dewaere), a school teacher who is awkwardly confused, but seemingly polite enough not to refuse.

"All that matters is that my wife is happy." Cohen Media Group has debuted an amusing trailer for their upcoming re-release of the French film Get Out Your Handkerchiefs, originally titled Préparez vos mouchoirs, which won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 1979. The somewhat absurd comedy is about a worried husband who tries to find a lover for his depressed wife, but she falls in love with a bullied thirteen-year-old math prodigy and wants to have the boy's baby. Yeah, sounds very kinky, and very French. Starring Carole Laure, Gérard Depardieu, and Patrick Dewaere. The 35mm film has been restored to 2K (alas not 4K) and will get a small theatrical run beginning in New York in March. Looks like a fun watch. Here's the restoration trailer (+ poster) for Bertrand Blier's Get Out Your Handkerchiefs, on YouTube: A worried husband finds a lover for his depressed wife,...

Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, Bertrand Blier’s Get Out Your Handkerchiefs has been restored by the Cohen Film Collection and returning to theaters at Quad Cinema on March 15. Starring Gérard Depardieu, Patrick Dewaere, and Carole Laure, the film follows a love triangle between the characters that turns both more comedic and more emotional. Winner of the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 1979, as well as the National Society of Film Critics award for Best Picture, we’re pleased to present the exclusive trailer and poster for the restoration.
Beloved by Pauline Kael, she said, “The social comedy Blier’s work is essentially sexual comedy: sex screws us up… and some people are so twisted that no matter what try to do for them they wreck everything… Sexually, life is a keystone comedy, and completely amoral—we have no control over who or what excites us.”

The Bitter Ash
A rather precious thing happened in Montreal in the mid 1970s. Canadian cinema had been dominated by the National Film Board since its formation in 1940, and the generally-perceived character of Canadian film was all educational documentary, and not a lot of fun. Directors such as Claude Jutra, Don Owen, and Gilles Groulx struck off on their own to make the first Canadian new wave fiction films (A tout prendre [1963], Nobody Waved Goodbye, and Le chat dans le sac [both 1964] respectively), on the back of independents like Sydney J. Furie’s groundbreaking A Dangerous Age (1959) and Larry Kent’s student feature The Bitter Ash (1963), but for all their youthful, semi-bohemian trappings, these were still quite po-faced affairs. Then came the “genial loser” films of the 70s, led by Owen’s Goin’ Down The Road (1970), and others such as The Rowdyman (Peter Carter, 1972) and Paperback Hero (Peter Pearson, 1973), for the...

As you can probably tell, this list feels more arbitrary than others. That’s not by design, but the unfortunate premise of the list leaves some room for interpretation. As we move forward, we will start seeing the films that, if you asked a lay person to give an example, would probably be a response. In other words, more people have heard of them, which, in turn, often makes them more “definitive.” Don’t worry, though – there are still some underseen and underappreciated gems the rest of the way through.

It’s certainly not the swiftest film on the list, but you can’t expect much quick plot development from Béla Tarr. Wreckmeister Harmonies takes place in a tiny Hungarian town surrounded by nothing.

Leading light in the emergence of French Canadian cinema
After years of neglect and discrimination by the dominant Anglophone culture, a distinctive French Canadian cinema emerged in the 1960s with the victory of René Lévesque's Liberal party in Quebec and the sponsorship of the National Film Board of Canada and the Quebec Film Commission. Among the beneficiaries was a group of young directors headed by Claude Jutra, Denys Arcand and Gilles Carle, who has died aged 80.
Carle, the most senior, was always an anti-elitist, independent figure, a social satirist whose films sought to expose "the secret order of things". Eroticism and violence are dominant themes in his critiques of middle-class rectitude, corruption and religious hypocrisy. He once described his movies as "social fables, allegorical tales rather than films of social protest".
At the heart of most of Carle's films is a beautiful, commanding, impulsive and defiant woman. The role...

CQ2 (Seek You Too)
CANNES -- Carole Laure's seductive drama "CQ2" (Seek You Too) is a woman's picture in the very best sense of that term. Only a female director could tell this story of female adolescent torment in such a powerfully intimate and sensuous way, and do it with a confidence that invites men in too.
Beautifully filmed in and around Montreal, this story of a confused, angry and scared teenager taking her first steps toward maturity is universal and would encounter a wide and receptive audience if given the chance.
Clara Furey is a revelation as Rachel, a hurt and sullen youngster whose parents made her choose between them when they split. Raised by her mother, she accuses her mother's boyfriend of abusing her and regards even the gentlest approach by a male as an assault. Touchy and offensive, she screams invective at them both and stays out at night scoring dope.
Meanwhile, inside a woman's prison, a lithe and exotic convict named Jeanne (Danielle Hubbard) has befriended shy, plump, housewifely Odile (Mireille Thibault) and shown her how to feel better about herself through dancing.
When Jeanne is released and takes a bus to her home at a motel in the country, Rachel happens to see her leave the prison and follows her when she gets off. Jeanne is immediately responsive to the young woman's plight and gradually Rachel stays more and more at the Pine motel, where Jeanne has a complicated relationship with the owner, Steven (Jean-Marc Barr). Once released, Odile too becomes part of the ad hoc family and she brings along her loving husband and kids.
Jeanne is a teacher of contemporary dance and it is through exposure to that most rigorous and challenging art form that Rachel discovers the potential for not only artistic expression but also love. Life, however, remains unforgiving and there are still many bridges to cross for each of the main characters.
Modern dance is not the most inclusive art form; in fact it's very difficult for the uninitiated but Laure pulls off the considerable trick of making it a part of the dramatic narrative of the picture. Both in the early scenes when Rachel first sees Jeanne's class of dancers to her own steps in a demanding piece and finally a wonderfully sensual pas de deux, she makes modern dance look organic and accessible. Furey shines as much when she's dancing as when she's acting, and choreographers Ginette Laurin and Claude Godin, and Emmanuel Jouthe are also to be applauded.
The performances are all strong and appealing with Hubbard and Thibault so very different but each portraying a self-knowledge that inspires Rachel. Gerard Simon's cinematography, Marie-Blanche Colonna's editing and Jeff Fisher's music add considerably to the film's merit.
There is a firm thread of feminine wisdom throughout the film although the sisterhood of the three damaged principals wears no badges and marches no parade. It's something marvelous to be cherished and its so gratifying that it also welcomes men.
