Last Year in Marienbad (L' Année dernière à Marienbad)
Its characters are named after letters of the alphabet, its plot is almost impossible to follow, and its writer and director could never agree on exactly what the story was meant to be. Steven Yates reviews one of the most perplexing films ever made

Lukas Moodysson Box Set
If you were thinking all that Swedish cinema has to offer was Ingmar Bergman, think again. Lukas Moodysson has deservedly built a reputation as one of Europe's most exciting directors, which makes a 4-disc boxset of his work all the more timely. Review by Jamie Sherry

Last Party 2000

Le Souffle (DVD)
The coming-of-age story has always been a popular film genre, but Damien Odoul's Le Souffle has a distinctly Gallic take on the subject, following one boy's misadventures over a single day on a rural French farm. The film has finally received a DVD release in the UK, and Edward Lamberti thinks it was worth the wait

Lukas Moodysson's third film swaps the domestic Swedish settings of his previous films for the harsh realities of the life of a teenage girl in Russia. Edward Lamberti thinks it misses the mark

Le Souffle
Teen films seem to be everywhere these days, but Damien Odoul's debut film takes a very different approach to the gross-out gags and cardboard characters of Hollywood. Le Souffle follows a single summer's day in the life of a teenage boy in rural France. Antonio Pasolini enjoys an unusual teen flick that's "first and foremost an exercise in style"

L'Homme Du Train
The French critics may loathe him, the film establishment may dismiss him, but Patrice Leconte somehow continues to make his peculiar brand of movies. Graeme Cole watches his latest effort – a buddy story between a robber and a literary professor waiting for a heart operation
