'L'auberge espagnole'

In both meanings, it is a perfect title for French writer-director Cédric Klapisch's exhilarating...Tags: Audrey Tautou, Culture, Arts and Culture, Kelly Reilly, Comedy (genre)

'Anatomy of Hell'
![France's fiery Catherine Breillat gets down to business fast in "Anatomy of Hell." A darkly beautiful woman (Amira Casar) wanders through a gay disco and touches a man (Rocco Siffredi), confident he not only will follow her to a restroom but see that she gets emergency room treatment after she slashes her wrist.

French Twist
TIMES STAFF WRITERFriday January 12, 1996 Josiane Balasko's exhilarating and uninhibited "French Twist" just may be the funniest French comedy since "La Cage aux Folles"--and is just as much a gender-bender, with a good shot at becoming an across-the-board success...Tags: Gays and Lesbians, Entertainment, Movies, Minority Groups, Real Estate Agents

Boys on the Side
TIMES STAFF WRITERFriday February 3, 1995 By all rights "Boys on the Side" should be a howler. It has the kind of high-low concept that sounds like a parody of a post-"Thelma & Louise" bond-a-thon--and, at times, the film * plays like a parody. Whoopi...Tags: East Village (Manhattan, New York), Melissa Etheridge, Celebrities, San Diego (San Diego, California), Family

For Lytton Strachey, his life with Dora Carrington gave evidence of "a great...Tags: Entertainment, Cannes Film Festival, Jonathan Pryce, Emma Thompson, Film Festivals

The Proprietor
TIMES STAFF WRITERWednesday October 9, 1996 With "The Proprietor," Ismail Merchant has created a beautiful film for Jeanne Moreau, only to get carried away with adoration for her just when clarity, specificity and common sense are most needed to anchor its flights of...Tags: Josh Hamilton, World War II (1939-1945), Sean Young, Death, Kevin Thompson

'The Horseman on the Roof' ('Le Hussard sur le Toit')
