ALPHAVILLE (1965)***
Starring Eddie Constantine. A horrifyingly dehumanized city of the future. A droning, growling voice keeps threatening the on-the-run hero over ubiquitous loud speakers. I bet I was not the only one who used to imitate this voice when I walked and escalated alone through the bleakly futuristic Embarcadero Center on a dark night.

CHILDREN OF PARADISE (1945)*****
Jean-Louis Barrault's great film, made during the Nazi occupation of Paris, features the players of the Comedie Francaise.

MR. HULOT'S HOLIDAY (1953)****
Jacques Tati's comic masterpiece about an Englishman on a holiday at a French seaside resort. With Natalie Pascaud. Almost no spoken dialogue. A very strange and droll film full of visual jokes.
