Le cercle rouge

Jean-Pierre Melville  ·  France/Italy  ·  1970 
140 mins  ·  HD  ·  PG  ·  In French with English subtitles
​
"Melville is the high priest of tough-guy mysticism, inventor of the attitudinous thriller associated with Godard, Tarantino and Wong Kar-Wai… Alain Delon is the epitome of cool." – J Hoberman, Village Voice.
"
Paris has never looked better or (with the help of a great jazz score) sounded finer. It’s all unutterably cool and quite unmissable." – Daily Telegraph

Viva Maria!

Louis Malle  ·  France  ·  1965
122 mins  ·  HD  ·  PG  ·  ​

Starring Brigitte Bardot and Jeanne Moreau as a pair of feisty vaudeville dancers and Mexican revolutionaries, Louis Malle’s campy comedy-adventure is an under-appreciated jeu d’esprit gleaming with screenwriter Jean-Claude Carrière’s surrealist gags and anticlerical hijinks.
