Two films produced by Luc Besson/EUROPACORP

and distributed commercially in the Philippines by PIONEER Films

Les aventures extraordinaires d'Adèle Blanc-Sec (The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec / Adèle: Rise of the Mummy) (2010)

 

Synopsis:

Writer-director-producer Luc Besson's affinity for mega-budget, FX-heavy adventure spectacles is wellknown and publicized. With his film The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec, he adds yet another chapter to this tradition. An adaptation of a popular French comic book from the 1970s, it stars Louise Bourgoin (The Girl from Monaco) as the redheaded title character, a wisecracking, hard-living adventurercum- novelist living in pre-WWI France. As the tale opens, Adele is on a mission in Egypt, attempting to retrieve a sarcophagus and tote it back to Western Europe, but simultaneously attempting to fend off complications wrought by her nemesis, the archaeologist Dieuleveult. She succeeds on both fronts, but upon returning runs headfirst into another problem: a Parisian scientist (Jacky Nercessian) with the power to heal Adele's comatose sister (Laure de Clermont-Tonnere) has accidentally let loose an ancient Pterodactyl above the Parisian skies. While a zany detective (Gilles Lellouche) and a hunter (Jean-Paul Rouve) attempt to eliminate the creature, the villains turn up yet again and try to thwart Adele's long-term plans.

 

 

Arthur et la vengeance de Maltazard (Arthur 2: The Revenge Of Maltazard) (2009)

Synopsis:

Arthur (Freddie Highmore) is reunited with his beloved Princess Selenia in the latest adventure adapted from Luc Besson's bestselling children's books, but danger lurks on the horizon… A spider deposits a grain of rice in Arthur's hand, with a message carved into it. It's an S.O.S. from the Minimoys. Arthur doesn't think twice about flying to the rescue. But not thinking twice could land him in the trap set by the abominable Maltazard, who has resolved to take his revenge... Luc Besson's follow-up to his worldwide box-office hit Arthur And The Minimoys, reprises the combo of live-action, starring Freddie Highmore (Charlie And The Chocolate Factory) and Mia Farrow (Be Kind Rewind), and magnificent, state-of-the-art animation.

Sans Toit Ni Loi (Vagabond) (1985)

a film by Agnès VARDA

In the middle of winter in southern France, a girl is found frozen to death in a ditch. Who was she? "A drug addict, a mental patient," some say… People who came across her try to draw a portrait of this young wanderer. As she wanders aimlessly, you may see her bathing nude at a beach, being picked up by a planetologist as she hitchhikes, spending time squatting in abandoned property, being hosted by a couple of goat-raising hippies, sympathizing with a farm worker from the Maghreb, setting up her tent in a cemetery, being lusted after by garage mechanics, sleeping with one but not the other…. Her name was Mona; some rejected her, others tried in vain to help her. No one was able to hold her back.

La Cérémonie (A Judgment in Stone) (1995)

a film by Claude CHABROL

1h51

 

Catherine and her husband Georges Lelièvre think they've found a real gem when they hire as their maid a discreet, quiet and illiterate girl named Sophie. Sophie has hidden her handicap from her new employers, and she finds herself facing the problem of performing simple, everyday tasks like interpreting a shopping list. Sophie becomes a friend of Jeanne, a very strange young woman torn between her job as a postal worker and an imaginary life of dreams and fantasies. Jeanne, whose past is equally dramatic, encourages Sophie to rebel against her employers. A macabre dance begins for these two cast offs, blending good and evil.

a film by Philippe LIORET

1h25

The life of Claire, a young woman with no history, a medical representative and mother of two children, brightens up when, at a cocktail party for a pharmaceutical convention, she runs into a dreamy actor turned into a sad clown from having continuously hosted wedding events and banquets. During these 24 hours of getting to know each other through a series of failed acts, these two discover one another, like one another, and have a one-night stand. Claire starts dreaming … Will she give herself the right to enjoy the fleeting happiness of a simple love story? Will this brief encounter change her life?

Elle s'appelle Sabine (Her name is Sabine) (2007)

a film by Sandrine Bonnaire

1h25

A sensitive portrait of Sabine Bonnaire, a 38-year-old autistic woman, made by Sandrine, her closest sister. It tells her story through personal archives, filmed by the actress over a period of 25 years, and shows her life today in a special facility. The documentary evokes an engaging personality whose development and multiple talents have been crushed by a failing care system. After the tragic five long years spent in a psychiatric hospital, Sabine regains her taste for life – even though her abilities remain altered – in a group home in Charente. A demonstration with a example of the shortage of specialized facilities and its dramatic consequences. Beyond the subject matter, Her Name Is Sabine is a true cinematographic film.

• Prix du Syndicat de la Critique 2008 Meilleur premier film français

A chamber maid in a hotel, she seems happy with Ange and Lisa, her husband and 15-year-old daughter. Her life seemed already written… Her modest fate changes one day when, as she makes up a hotel room, her attention is grabbed by a young American couple, in love and attractive, who are playing chess on the terrace. Suddenly fascinated with the free and sensual communication that their relationship evokes, she takes a keen interest in chess. Hélène will do everything, obstinately, to master the rules of this game until she becomes excellent at it. She can count on the help from Mr. Kröger, a mysterious village resident, to support her in this metamorphosis, to find her freedom and her identity as a woman.

  • I just lost my man about three months ago though he is back again full of love and passion with the help of great man Dr. IKHIDE. I NORAH PEDRO from Norway, have been into a relationship with daniel mark since I was 22 years old and I am 28 now. I so much love him but I could not show the love, it was very difficult for me to prove my realness to him because I thought to prove my love to him might make him look down on me and go after other girls. for over six years Daniel has given me all that I ask of him. I always threatened him with break up each time I want to see his level of love for me because I was told if I threaten him, he will propose to me and then will get married to him before I can show my love despite his complains of him not sure of my love I was responding to him with negative words. though I was suspecting he has another girl in his life, I did not border to ask him about that because I was so sure of his love despite my attitude. on the 8th of September a day to my birthday he came and gave me so many lovely gifts like never before claiming to wish me a happy birthday in advance with his words and behavior I expected him to propose to me on my birthday night then I will also tell him of my pregnant for him. I wait for him on my birthday he did not show up not even a call, I tried his number and it was not going through I refuse to go check on him because the anger in me six days later I went to his house and I found nothing not even a sign of my Daniel once live there. I was disappointed, frustrated, confused with so many thoughts on my mind like hanging my self if I did not see him again because I can not my parent about the pregnancy when the man responsible for it had disappeared. our religion's against that, my family will be disappointed in me, I have brought them shame. I look for daniel everywhere till I could chat with him on social network, he warned me never to disturb him again because he already had found another girl that he wants to live his life with, after a while, he blocked me from all access then I could not tell him of my pregnancy for him. so, I needed help from all corners of life, I decide to check to google my self or read some write up on-site on how to coup with my pain because I could not tell anybody about it not even my friends were aware of my pregnancy. I keep reading to cancel my self till I find how Dr. IKHIDE helps so many persons from different walks of life with their testimonies. then I decide to also contact him with dr.ikhide@gmail.com. Because I do not know much about contacting a spell caster, I was not sure he can bring my Dan back but I decide to give him a try though his requirement was another problem I meet with a friend for help because I could not the items that he needed I have to plead with Dr. IKHIDE to help me get the items because really need my man back to take away my shame. just two days after I send him the requirement Daniel calls me, plead for forgiveness. just yesterday he propose to me and I am so happy. you can also contact him with dr.ikhide@gmail.com
