"Actor: Jeanne Balibar"

• Va Savoir | Blu Ray | (28/04/2025) from £17.99   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  Returning home with her travelling theatre troupe, actress Camille (Jeanne Balibar, Les misérables) finds the affections of her director lover Ugo (Sergio Castellitto, Conclave) have waned after he takes an interest in Dominique (Hélène de Fougerolles, Innocence), a vivacious student helping him search for an infamous missing play. In a bid to make him jealous, Camille reunites with her former lover Pierre (Jacques Bonnaffé, Prénom Carmen), now happily married to Sonia (Marianne Basler, Midnight in Paris), and a farce-like series of love triangles ensue. Theatrically exploring attraction, jealousy, and every emotion in between, Jacques Rivette's quick-witted and zesty romantic drama turns a satirical lens on the city's intelligentsia - for whom Paris will always be their home - to ask whether even they know what love is all about.

• A Town Called Panic | DVD | (22/11/2010) from £8.95   |  Saving you £9.04 (101.01%)   |  RRP £17.99

  Hilarious and frequently surreal the stop-motion extravaganza A Town Called Panic has endless charms and raucous laughs for children from eight to eighty! Based on the Belgian animated cult TV series (which was released by Wallace & Gromit's Aardman Studios) Panic stars three plastic toys named Cowboy Indian and Horse who share a rambling house in a rural town that never fails to attract the weirdest events. Cowboy and Indian's plan to gift Horse with a homemade barbeque backfires when they accidentally buy 50 million bricks. Whoops! This sets off a perilously wacky chain of events as the trio travel to the center of the earth trek across frozen tundra and discover a parallel underwater universe of pointy-headed (and dishonest!) creatures. Each speedy character is voiced-and animated-as if they are filled with laughing gas. With panic a permanent feature of life in this papier-m''ch'' burg will Horse and his equine paramour-flame-tressed music teacher Madame Longray (Jeanne Balibar)-ever find a quiet moment alone? A sort of Gallic Monty Python crossed with Art Clokey on acid A Town Called Panic is zany brainy and altogether insane-y!

• The Jacques Rivette Collection | DVD | (24/08/2009) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £29.99

  Three classics form Jacques Rivette. Secret Defense is a gripping and fascinating dark Hitchcock style thriller about a scientist who is murdered by a family friend. In Vasavoir the theatre world is the setting. The characters all quick-witted well-read and cultured types revolve around each other in a delightful potpourri of theatre romance and theft. Histoire de Marie et Julien is a fascinating film and rather more interesting for its unusual stylistic approach to genre filmmaking dealing with death re-birth time and memory and is regarded as one of Rivette's long-lost phantom films.

  In matters of the heart it's anyone's guess. Va Savoir is an elegant and utterly charming comedy about the romantic misadventures of Camille and Ugo - a theater director and his leading lady - whose already complicated relationship becomes exponentially more difficult when they become entangled in the lives of four other people. As funny as it is touching as smart as it is silly Va Savoir is an endearing and delightful comedy of the heart and soul.

  Ma Vie Sexuelle is a modern tale of Parisian romance. The film's originality and humour lie in its superb performances for which Mathieu Amalric won a Csar Award for Best Newcomer in his role as Paul.

In this state on a modest salary he lives a half-life waiting to begin what he calls ""his life as a man"". Paul has been dating Esther for ten years. They don't get along in fact they are on the verge of splitting up. Two years ago he had an affair with his best friend's girlfriend. Since he considers it unthinkable to steal his friend's girl the state of his romantic affairs remain much the same way as his professional ones...

  Jacques Rivette's masterful film Don't Touch The Axe tells the tale of an ill-fated love affair between a Parisian socialite and a Napoleonic war hero. Their story unfolds amidst the extravagant balls of restoration-era Paris where the handsome General Armand de Montriveau (Guillaume Depardieu) encounters the beautiful coquettish but married Antoinette de Langeais (Jeanne Balibar). Vowing that she will be his lover Montriveau pursues the alluring Antoinette who in turn orchestrates a calculating game of seduction but repeatedly rebuffs his advances. Humiliated Montriveau seeks revenge just as Antoinette's passion for him awakens and a perverse romantic power struggle ensues. Once again adapting Balzac - the source of his acclaimed La Belle Noiseuse - Rivette's subtle and superbly acted drama is a riveting exploration of the intricacies of love and desire.
