The Host (2013)



When an unseen enemy threatens mankind by taking over their bodies and erasing their memories, a young woman will risk everything to protect the people she cares most about, proving that love can conquer all in a dangerous new world.

Despite a star cast and good production value this sci-fi drama risks a silly plot (two souls in one body - and their internal conversations!) and loses; an attempt to recreate Gattaca's atmosphere and quality, but rather appears like an artsy Red Dawn.

Maltin**: "...long, dreary adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's novel. Science fiction has rarely been so dull."

Les adieux à la reine (2012)



A look at the relationship between Marie Antoinette and one of her readers during the first days of the French Revolution.

Despite an interesting story, high production value and a good cast this movie fails to spark any sympathy and to appeal.

Pour elle (2008)



With no legal means left to him, a high school teacher devises a daring plan to rescue his wrongfully imprisoned wife from jail.

Unusual, above-average thriller that solidly keeps its focus on the plot and its main characters.

Inhale (2010)



A couple goes to dangerous lengths to find a lung donor for their daughter.

Intense and in the end harrowing thriller with a complex sociocritical message.
