  • Finally, Sunday! (1983)
    Review preview for Finally, Sunday!

    Murder mystery involving an estate agent and his secretary in the South of France.
  • The Girl Without Hands (2016)
    Review preview for The Girl Without Hands

    When a miller sells his daughter to the Devil, her purity saves her but she loses her hands and must endure a life full of challenges.
  • Malefique (2005)
    Review preview for Malefique

    The good performances and largely solid direction are completely wasted on a rambling script.

    Three cellmates find a mythical journal used to perform witchcraft.
  • Of Gods And Men (2010)
    Review preview for Of Gods And Men

    Based on a true incident, the film is set in a Cistercian monastery in North Africa in the 1990s, where eight French monks live in cordial harmony with the local population... and what happens when violence encroaches.
