While travelling by train, Mathieu Faber relates his love affair with Conchita Perez to the people sharing his compartment. He fell in love with his chambermaid, who had always shied away from his advances and fled from him. By chance, they kept on bumping into each other in different European cities, without Mathieu ever achieving his aims, whereas Conchita remained provocative and gave herself to other men. From this mutual stubbornness, which led to violence and absurdity, a subtle and strong bond, deeper than any other, united them.

Doors slam and papers fly in this off-the-wall comedy about French politics directed by master filmmaker Bertrand Tavernier (The Princess of Montpensier). Tavernier's blistering assault - based on the award-winning graphic novel by Abel Lanzac, a former government speech writer - zeroes in on fictional Minister of Foreign Affairs Alexandre Taillard de Vorms (a tour-de-force comic performance by Thierry Lhermitte). A human whirlwind and a man confident in France's importance on the world stage, de Vorms takes on American neo-cons, corrupt Russians and the opportunistic Chinese while his hapless speech writer (Raphael Personnaz) endures the eccentricities of his megalomaniacal boss and his sycophantic entourage. In the vein of recent political comedies such as In the Loop, The French Minister is a hilarious send-up of diplomacy and international politics with rapid-fire dialogue and a brilliant ensemble cast.

From the director of the hit comedy, THE WOMEN ON THE 6TH FLOOR comes BICYCLING WITH MOLIÈRE - a warm, funny, literate comedy starring renowned French actors, Fabrice Luchini and Lambert Wilson. Gauthier (Wilson) is a handsome and famous soap opera star in Paris; Serge (Luchini) is a serious stage actor who has renounced his profession to live on an idyllic island off the French coast. When Gauthier visits Serge to convince him to join him in a production of Molière's The Misanthrope, a battle of wits ensues over who will play the lead role of Alceste. Between rehearsals, the two bike along the windswept beaches, rival for the affections of a beautiful Italian divorcée and offer advice to an aspiring porn actress. As tensions mount, Gauthier begins to wonder if Serge is really considering leaving his island paradise for the stage or if he's just toying with him.

As soon as Steven arrives on location, he decides to discover his homeland on his own with his friends. But it turns out they are on the Most Wanted List for money counterfeiting. That's when Steven's best friend, Guy-Désiré (who had to stay at home because of bad grades) is about to come to their rescue.

Awarded the Special Jury Prize at the 41st Venice International Film Festival, this absurdist comedy, with its sprawling cast of crooks, thieves, anarchists, prostitutes, chief inspectors, art dealers, and inventors, calls to mind the bustling tapestries of Robert Altman. The story revolves around two objects, a rare set of 18th-century Limoges china, and a 19th century aristocratic portrait. As these items are passed, sold, or stolen from one character to another, a giddy round dance of excess begins to take shape, one which suggests that if history doesn’t repeat itself, it certainly rhymes. Together with co-writer Gérard Brach, whose other co-writing credits include Repulsion and Tess, Otar Iosseliani uses a feather-light touch to expose the futility of class and social order, making a bagatelle of the concerns of rich and poor alike.

The good news is they'll inherit a fortune if they marry. The bad news is they have 18 months to have a baby! The world's favorite odd couple - shrill, sentimental drag queen Albin (Michel Serrault) and his long-suffering mate Renato (Ugo Tognazzi) - are back in this outrageous French farce. In their latest romp, the boys' financially-troubled St. Tropez transvestite cabaret, La Cage, can be saved only if Albin rises to the conditions of a relative's bequest. The will stipulates he must marry and father a son - or else the vast estate will pass to his virile, greedy young cousin. There's inspired lunacy as flamboyant Albin contemplates a fate worse than death - will he be condemned to abandon his ladylike ways once and for all?

The Conquest is that rare specimen produced while its political subject is still in power.

This vivid film depicts the future president of France as a bold and unashamed virtuoso of political combat. Brilliantly etching sharp characterizations of living politicians, The Conquest never veers too far from reality, even while deploying a larger-than-life sense of humor and a buoyant, Fellini-esque score that giddily evokes a circus-like atmosphere of modern politics.
