Hollywood Je T'aime
Comedy
2
Heartbroken from a recent breakup and barely enduring a dreary winter, gay Parisian Jerome impulsively books a solo Christmas vacation to Los Angeles. There, he meets some colorful locals and pursues a dormant desire to become a movie star - but never can quite put his past behind him. Jerome goes far in the sun-drenched City of Angels but ultimately arrives at an old Hollywood maxim: there's no place like home. Bright, funny, honest and utterly charming, Hollywood, Je T'aime is a stunning debut for Director Jason Bushman. Eric Debets shines as Jerome. His classic look and an amusing ease with his own awkwardness are evocative of Buster Keaton and Marcel Marceau. MPAA Rating: G © 2008 Wolfe Video

Much to his surprise, this funny falsehood becomes the catalyst that sends Francois' life on an unexpected and hilarious turn for the better! As this outrageous, critically acclaimed story unfolds, you'll laugh along with Francois as he keeps this improbable charade going in an inspired bid to save his job and transform his life!

The French Minister
Comedy
4
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.
Bicycling With Moliere
Comedy

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.

Favorites of the Moon
Comedy

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.
La Cage Aux Folles 3: The Wedding
Comedy

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?

He's My Girl
Comedy

A fast-paced, spirited gay farce, He's My Girl follows the adventures of Simon Eskenazy (Antoine de Caunes). A successful musician in the process of finishing an album, Simon is a very busy man. Already overextended by work, he hits a breaking point when his melodramatic, ailing mother (Judith Magre) insists that he care for her in a time of need. If all that weren't bad enough, he's also juggling an insistent agent, an ex-wife, a ten-year-old son and two younger male lovers. With a fit body and professorial good looks, Simon doesn't have trouble finding young guys with "daddy" fantasies to satisfy his horndog impulses. He has been in a relationship with Raphael (Micha Lescot) for more than a year, but soon finds his interest divided when he meets Naim (Medhi Debhi), a talented female impersonator who turns him on both in and out of drag. Simon is feeling the pangs of true love, but is reluctant to admit it. However, when Naim, in character as "Rose," proves adept at caring for his high-maintenance, bed-ridden mother, he starts reconsidering all of his preconceived notions and fears.
