  Fantastic!  Jean-Luc Goard’s perspective of Parisian youth in 1965 and their perspective on politics, love, sex and more.  Unique for its time and still wonderful today!  Wonderful and natural performances by the main talents and just a youth film that is crafted like no other.  Highly recommended!

  I believe that the more you research this film, you’re going to get a lot of different interpretations from various viewers and their thoughts and what they got out of it. It’s improvisation in filmmaking at its best.  It’s the capturing of human emotion during the late 1960’s, peace and love with guerrilla ...

  J!-ENT entertainment news pop culture TV music DVD Blu-ray reviews fashion celebrity USA Asia UK — Authority: 495
  A classic film of Italian neorealism that captures humanity in times of despair.  “Umberto D.” is realistic and 57-years-later, many can still feel compassion for Umberto because those emotions still run strong, as poverty is still a major problem today.  Wonderful performances from the non-professional actors ...

  Those Crazy Schuberts — Authority: 129
  Any one that knows me probably knows that I love the public library.  How great is it to be able to check out books, movies, cd’s etc for free.  I’ve been going to the library since I was a kid.  My mom used to take me to the Newhall branch of the Los Angeles County libraries.  At the time you could borrow ...

  French New Wave pioneer Jean-Luc Godard’s classic sci-fi film “Alphaville” may not sport the special effects or violence that we have seen in modern sci-fi films, but “alphaville” is quite enjoyable courtesy of the visual imagery, campiness and fun, noir-ish storyline.

  Guru — Authority: 122
  Reviewer: Amy Monaghan Rating (out of 5): ****½ It is, a title archly informs us, “the very early 80s” - “September,” to be exact - but the strobelight flicker of the opening credits and the thumping beat make it clear that we are in The Last Days of Disco (1998). In the final film of ...
