La Glace à trois faces (The Three-Sided Mirror) (1927,  Unrated)
La Glace à trois faces (The Three-Sided Mirror)
Highly innovative avant-garde flick by Jean Epstein, adapted from a Paul Morand's novel. The plot is almost irrelevant, just an excuse to experiment with camera virtuosities and new narrative styles. A surprising modern 45 minute film, which anticipates, by many years, the nouvelle vague.

La Chute de la maison Usher (The Fall of the House of Usher) (1928,  Unrated)
La Chute de la maison Usher (The Fall of the House of Usher)
Surreal and evocative silent horror by Jean Epstein - one of the most influential exponents of French Avant-garde - who drew inspiration for this from some Edgar Allan Poe's short stories. Mesmerizing aesthetic work, pervaded by spooky and oneiric atmospheres and a sense of oppressive anxiety, due to the frequent use of close-ups, slow motions, superimposed images, light games and other particular techniques that distort the bodies of characters and move the objects present in the film without touching them. Warmly recommended if you are into silent and/or experimental cinema.

The Golden Coach (Le Carrosse d'or) (1953,  Unrated)
The Golden Coach (Le Carrosse d'or)
"Where is truth? Where does the theater end and life begin?"

Jean Renoir's delightful homage to Theater and, in particular, to Commedia dell'Arte. A feast for the eyes and ears thanks to the sumptuous use of color, costumes and Vivaldi's music.

L'Enfer
'Sans fin'

Claustrophobic journey into the life of a man, whose feelings turn from love to jealousy to madness. Always admire the narrative elegance and the right amount of cynicism that Chabrol uses to tell his stories.
