• Maitresse (DVD & Blu-ray) | Blu Ray | (05/11/2012) from £8.69   |  Saving you £11.30 (130.04%)   |  RRP £19.99

  World premiere on Blu-ray (as part of this BFI Dual Format Edition), this controversial film from director Barbet Schroeder (Barfly, Single White Female, The Valley) is both a conventional love story and a dark study of fetishism. Starring Gerard Depardieu as Olivier, the young innocent who falls for the mysterious maitresse Ariane (Bulle Ogier), a leather clad dominatrix. Based on an encounter with a real-life dominatrix, this story of a Paris prostitute specialising in bondage and sado-masochism was refused a certificate by the BBFC on its original release. The film features graphic scenes of torture and fetishism which the Board described as 'miles in excess of anything we have ever passed in this field in 1976.' Only released at the time in a handful of club cinemas in 1981, the film was cut by almost five minutes and finally awarded an X certificate. This fully uncut version was first passed in 2003 and is presented in new High Definition transfer for the very first time.

• 1492 - Conquest Of Paradise | DVD | (23/04/2001) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  One of Ridley Scott's most wrong-headed films, this one (like all of his movies) looks fabulous and sounds utterly ridiculous, almost from the beginning. His first mistake was casting the wonderful Gerard Dépardieu as Columbus and forcing him to speak English, which Dépardieu does with decided difficulty. After spending far too much time on the ocean with Columbus' three ships (you wish they would sail over the edge of the world), they arrive in the West Indies, only to turn around and sail back. The rest of the film deals with the not particularly comprehensible politics of Columbus' venture, which leads to the violent slaughter of trusting natives by a band of cardboard villains. Dépardieu, who radiates sympathy, looks as if he's at sea with this material. --Marshall Fine, Amazon.com

• Cyrano De Bergerac | DVD | (17/04/2019) from £5.30   |  Saving you £14.69 (277.17%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Director Jean-Paul Rappeneau and cowriter Jean-Claude Carriere had the brilliant idea of casting Frances most lovably vulnerable hunk, the massive Gerard Depardieu, in one of French literatures meatiest roles: the sword-wielding poet Cyrano. Equipped with a massive nose and a heart to match, Depardieu soars as the heart-broken soldier who must lendhis words of love to another man to woo the woman he yearns for. Rappeneau spared no expense in taking this Edmond Rostand play into realistic locations for the battle scenes in the second act, making the film as exciting as it is romantic and funny. Depardieu attacks the role in great gulps, consuming all the oxygen in any room he enters. Macho but sensitive, he creates a larger-than-life Cyrano, whose wrenching sadness at the lack of interest from his lady love will have you reaching for the tissues. --Marshall Fine

• Sous Le Soleil De Satan | DVD | (22/03/2010) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Positioned somewhere between Bresson's immortal Journal d'un cur'' de campagne and Dieterle's The Devil and Daniel Webster Maurice Pialat's staggering Sous le soleil de Satan [Under the Sun of Satan] addresses the torrent of spiritual and intellectual turmoil unloosed among the denizens of a little country parish. It is a film by turns calm and violent buoyant upon the tears of mercy and gurgling with the blood of the Lamb. G''rard Depardieu (Loulou Le Gar''u) is the self-abasing curate tortured by questions about his role in God's plan - before an encounter with a material Satan touches off a powerful revelation. At the crux of his vision is Sandrine Bonnaire (A nos amours. Police) the madly profligate brewer's daughter whose fate ruptures in a blast of gunpowder and the slash of a razor. As events unfurl Maurice Pialat himself provides witness as the seasoned cleric who pronounces the words: God wears us down. One of the great films of faith made by a non-believer Sous le soleil de Satan left an indelible mark on spectators from the very moment of its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in 1987 - where it won the Palme d'Or for Best Film.
