Class (1983)

A young boy in private school spends one crazy night out, but soon realizes the woman he hooked up with is not who he expected.

Unashamed rip-off of The Graduate which only shows the pretensions but never delivers; the end result is just a misogynist and outdated campus comedy for male adolescents.

Halliwell (no star): "Ghastly travesty of The Graduate, which aspires to every kind of sophistication it can think of but ends nowhere."

Maltin**: "Slick but uneven mix of romance, comedy, and drama with one-dimensional characters and a lack of credibility. Some good moments lost in the shuffle."

Witness for the Prosecution (1957)

A veteran British barrister must defend his client in a murder trial that has surprise after surprise.

Fritz Lang

Deux jours à tuer (2008)

A man has everything he needs to be happy: a beautiful wife, two adorable children, friends he can count on, a pretty house in the Yvelines and money; but one day he decides to ruin everything in one weekend.

Intriguing personal drama, at first quite reminiscent of Chabrol's Que la bête meure, but soon the ending becomes quite predictable and replaces the initial gutsy impact with sentimentality.

Princess of the Nile (1954)

La femme du Vème (2011)

A college lecturer flees to Paris after a scandal costs him his job, and in the City of Light he meets a widow who might be involved in a series of murders.

Messy psychological thriller with an otherwise good cast wobbles between reality and fantasy, but hardly uses the imbalance effectively.

Maltin***: "...this moody, dreamlike psychological thriller (which may or may not entirely in the protagonist's head) is often confusing and indecipherable but is very well acted and beautifully made."
