Inspector Lavardin
Drama

In this follow up to Claude Chabrol's CHICKEN WITH VINEGAR, Inspector Lavardin travels to a small coastal town to investigate the puzzling death of a devout and wealthy Roman Catholic writer who is found murdered on a beach with the word "PIG" written on his back.

In the course of his probing, Lavardin inadvertently discovers the town holds other secrets.
Queen Margot
Drama
4
France, 1572. During an uneasy break in the wars of religion, Catholic King Charles IX (Jean-Hugues Anglade) concludes a marriage of state between his sister, Margot (Isabelle Adjani), and the Protestant Huguenot King Henry of Navarre (Daniel Auteuil), by ramming forward a reluctant Margot's head in lieu of a 'Oui'. But Margot's skull-faced Queen Mother (Virna Lisi) is already plotting the attack on the Huguenots that would come to be known as the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre, and Margot is in the throes of a throbbingly romantic affair with the Protestant La Môle (Vincent Pérez). The late Patrice Chéreau's high octane adaptation of the Alexandre Dumas novel begins in ?fth gear and never lets up, plunging in hip-deep in history and into a dizzying array of characters, with assionate performances and a riveting, horri?c staging of the Massacre. Originally released in the U.S. in a truncated version, this is the complete 159-minute director's cut.

Now in her early sixties, former beauty queen Bettie (Catherine Deneuve) finds herself jilted by her lover and left alone to deal with the financial problems facing her family's restaurant.

Along the way there are chance meetings, an ex-Miss France gala, renewed ties with her estranged daughter and grandson, and possibly, at the end of the road, love.
Nightcap
Drama
4
Mika (Isabelle Huppert) is the head of a Swiss chocolate company and insists on dispensing a surprisingly potent blend of hot chocolate and sedatives to her family. Married for the second time to her concert-pianist husband Andre, the two live with their son Guillaume, who clearly shares none of his father’s musical talent. Into their lives steps a young woman born on the same day as Guillaume and, as we learn, was almost switched at birth with him. Does her prolific talent at the piano hint at a deeper connection? And will there be enough chocolate to go around?
Paris-Manhattan
Idealistic pharmacist Alice (the adorable Alice Taglioni - The Valet; Sky Fighters) is totally obsessed with the movies of Woody Allen. She continually quotes lines from his films, engages in imaginary conversations, and even prescribes her customers his classic works to help alleviate their ailments; it's a little wonder she's still single in her thirties! Alice's increasingly concerned Jewish parents hope to cure her fixation by setting her up with a handsome French gentleman (Patrick Bruel - Change of Plans; A Secret), but even he quickly realizes that he's no match for the man of her dreams...
Two Men in Manhattan

A French UN delegate has disappeared into thin air, sending reporter Moreau (Jean-Pierre Melville) and hard drinking photographer Delmas (Pierre Grasset) on an assignment to find him. Their only lead is a picture of three women. Set against a smoky jazz score and featuring stunning black and white cinematography that beautifully captures the gritty streets at night, this is director Melville's love letter to New York City and homage to American Film Noir.
