"The darkest of the filmic trilogy that unites husband and wife Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan, "Flesh and Bone" is a grimly affecting tale of two lonely lives, one unexpectedly, dramatically affected by the other. Quaid is the tragic Arlis, condemned to running away from memories of his horrific childhood. His is a life on the road, replenishing vending machines including one with a live chicken and predictions of the future. Ryan's unhappi ..."
"Diane Kurys's autobiographical remembrance of young adulthood, a sequel to her study in adolescence Peppermint Soda, plays the events of May 1968 from a unique perspective. Headstrong Anne (Elise Caron) runs away when her rich, status-conscious mother forbids her from seeing her working-class boyfriend. Her plan to hop a ship to Israel and join a kibbutz takes Frederick (Philippe Lebas) by surprise, but after some crossed connections ..."
"The life of St. Thérèse de Lisieux, a young Carmelite nun who died of tuberculosis, is the inspiration for this spare, sincere French film. The obsessively religious Thérèse (Catherine Mouchet) fights to be allowed to join the rigorous order of nuns, taking her petition all the way to the Pope himself. After becoming part of the sisterhood, Thérèse takes joy in the strict rituals and devotions, until she develops tuberculosis and h ..."
"In the films of Bertrand Blier, love is a virus that sends its victims on a feverish fling of impulsive passion before leaving them abandoned and alone. The difference in Too Beautiful for You is an empathy and warmth rarely seen in Blier's often cynical work. Gérard Depardieu is the successful car dealer ambushed by Cupid when plain-looking secretary Josiane Balasko clumps into the office. It seems to defy all reason, how this frumpy, ..."
"In den 80er-Jahren war er Remington Steele in der gleichnamigen Krimiserie, aber erst in den 90er-Jahren ist Pierce Brosnan als der fünfte Darsteller des legendären Geheimagenten James Bond wirklich berühmt geworden. Diese beiden Rollen verbindet einiges, zusammen ergeben sie ein Bild, dem Pierce Brosnan meist auch in seinen anderen Auftritten gerecht wird. Der Privatdetektiv mit der mysteriösen Vergangenheit und der Spion mit der Lizen ..."
"A sumptuously mounted and photographed celebration of artful wickedness, betrayal, and sexual intrigue among depraved 18th-century French aristocrats, Dangerous Liaisons (based on Christopher Hampton's Les Liaisons Dangereuses) is seductively decadent fun. The villainous heroes are the Marquise De Merteuil (Glenn Close) and the Vicomte De Valmont (John Malkovich), who have cultivated their mutual cynicism into a highly developed and exq ..."
"From the director of Hope & Glory comes a "wildly ambitious parable [that] transports us to a singularly imaginative realm" (Boxoffice). The Emerald Forest is "an exotic and erotic daymare replete with one lushly enrapturing scene after another" (Daily News)! For ten years, engineer Bill Markham (Powers Boothe) has searched tirelessly for his son Tommy who disappeared from the edge of the Brazilian rainforest. Miraculously, he finds th ..."

"This winning 1987 epic written and directed by John Boorman (Deliverance, The General) serves as a picaresque and semi-autobiographical remembrance of a boy's coming of age during the Second World War. Exhibiting a defiant and humorous take on life during the London blitz, the family of the young boy at the center of the story (Sebastian Rice-Edwards) is a close-knit and resilient bunch, undeterred in the face of the war and reveling in ..."
"Als bekannt wurde, dass Tom Cruise den Vampir Lestat in dieser Bearbeitung des Bestseller-Romans von Anne Rice spielen sollte, mischte sich sogar die Autorin mit einem vielpublizierten Einspruch ein. Doch sie widerrief vernünftigerweise und zu Recht ihre negative Meinung, als sie das exzellente Spiel von Cruise sah, der einfühlsam den Schmerz und die chronische Melancholie darstellte, die jeden quält, der zu ewiger Blutgier verdammt ist ..."
"Storytelling Doesn'T Get Much Purer Than This--A Film With Virtually No Dialogue And Not A Minute That Isn'T Fascinating, Either For The Plot It Pursues Or The Way Director Jean-Jacques Annaud Gets His Ursine Stars To Do What He Wants. The Story Deals With A Young Cub Who, After His Mother Is Killed In A Landslide, Bonds To A Lumbering Male Kodiak. The Two Of Them Then Must Cope With An Invasion Of Hunters Into Their Territory--And Anna ..."
"John Boorman's 1985 South American epic never quite gets all of its gears working simultaneously, but it remains an often startling work with an extraordinary performance by the director's own son, Charley Boorman. Powers Boothe plays an American engineer working on a dam project in Brazil. When his young son is seemingly absorbed one day into the dense perils and beauty of the Amazon rain forest, Boothe's character goes on a protracted ..."
"When it was announced that Tom Cruise would play the vampire Lestat in this adaptation of Anne Rice's bestselling novel, even Rice chimed in with a highly publicized objection. The author wisely and justifiably recanted her negative opinion when she saw Cruise's excellent performance, which perceptively addresses the pain and chronic melancholy that plagues anyone cursed with immortal bloodlust. Brad Pitt and Kirsten Dunst are equally g ..."

"De l'Antiquité à l'observation de l'impact de la comète Shoemaker-Levy 9 sur Jupiter en juillet 1994, présente le long cheminement de la pensée humaine dans la compréhension de ces astres."
"Il y a en Louisiane une sorte d’autoroute qui traverse sur pilotis le lac Ponchartrain, plus de quarante kilomètres en ligne droite au-dessus de l’eau. Tôt le matin, tard le soir, c’est une destination aller et retour, vers un lieu de tournage?; trente minutes à cent à l’heure. Et la première question du jour se pose en regardant la lumière et le ciel se reflétant sur l’eau, de chaque côté de la voie, « comment, de quelle manière, filme ..."
"Gefährliche Liebschaften ist ein üppig ausgestattetes und kunstvoll fotografiertes Fest raffinierter Boshaftigkeiten und sexueller Intrigen zwischen entarteten französischen Aristokraten des 18. Jahrhunderts. Der Film (er basiert auf dem Buch von Christopher Hampton: Les Liaisons Dangereuses) ist ein verführerisch dekadenter Spaß. Die bösen Helden sind die Marquise De Merteuil (Glenn Close) und der Vicomte De Valmont (John Malkovich), ..."
"Cet ouvrage a été rédigé autour de trois axes: - Comprendre la gestion de trésorerie pour mieux appréhender la santé économique et financière de l’entreprise dans un contexte prévisionnel indispensable: la trésorerie, à travers la liquidité qu’elle consomme et dégage, est le véritable coeur et centre nerveux de l’entreprise. - Optimiser la gestion de trésorerie: l’objectif de cette gestion optimale est un solde de trésorerie égal à zéro ..."
