Expatriate blacklistee Joseph Losey is the perfect director for this excellent, strange tale, a big award winner in France. The terrible Occupation-era victimization of the Jewish citizens of Paris is told tangentially from the viewpoint of a jackal-like opportunist who buys art and valuables cheaply from Jews desperate for cash. But Klein has a little ‘doppelgänger’ problem straight out of Franz Kafka . . . and finds himself in an existential nightmare that’s strangely . . . appropriate. This original, superior thriller arrives in a new special edition.

Marc Allégret: From André Gide lover to Simone Simon mentor (photo: Marc Allégret) (See previous post: "Simone Simon Remembered: Sex Kitten and Femme Fatale.") Simone Simon became a film star following the international critical and financial success of the 1934 romantic drama Lac aux Dames, directed by her self-appointed mentor – and alleged lover – Marc Allégret.[1] The son of an evangelical missionary, Marc Allégret (born on December 22, 1900, in Basel, Switzerland) was to have become a lawyer. At age 16, his life took a different path as a result of his romantic involvement – and elopement to London – with his mentor and later "adoptive uncle" André Gide (1947 Nobel Prize winner in Literature), more than 30 years his senior and married to Madeleine Rondeaux for more than two decades. In various forms – including a threesome with painter Théo Van Rysselberghe's daughter Elisabeth – the Allégret-Gide relationship remained steady until the late '20s and their trip to...

Welcome to The CoF Weekend Preview! Check out what’s opening this weekend and decide what you will be viewing or missing in the theater. Join us Monday for an all new City Strip, obviously.
Oz The Great and Powerful – Rt (59%) – Trailer
So this is based on L. Frank Baum’s Oz novels, it serves as a “spiritual prequel” to Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and indirectly to the 1939 MGM film, The Wizard of Oz. So basically this is for kids who find Judy Garland insufferable. James Franco is in it, I bet he tries really hard.
Dead Man Down – Rt (40%) – Trailer
Good luck is all I can say. Oz is tracking to make over $80 million this weekend and Colin Farrell isn’t exactly the weekend opener of movies he should be. We could have Will Smith in a potato sack talking about...
