With Elizabeth Bourgine, Myriam Boyer, Brigitte Catillon, and Maurice Garrel as a brilliant music teacher. Letterboxed. Includes cast and crew interviews, Claude Sautet interview, excerpt from documentary on Claude Sautet, trailers, 5.1 sound, and 8 pp. commemorative booklet. In French with English subtitles.

Cesar and Rosalie Claude Sautet Yves Montand, Romy Schneider and Sami Frey star in this mature, witty look at a woman torn between two lovers and the unexpected changes that this triangle puts in play. "Whenever you think the relationships are going to be stabilized into formulas, the picture wiggles free. It's a fluky, wry ode on the imperfect, haphazard nature of romantic love" (Pauline Kael, The New Yorker). French with English subtitles. France, 1972, 106 mins. DVD $44.95
Nelly and Monsieur Arnaud Claude Sautet In this engaging romance of longing and denial, reminiscent of Kieslowski's Red, Emmanuelle Beart plays Nelly, who is introduced to the wealthy Arnaud (Michel Serrault) and agrees to transcribe his memoirs. The unlikely couple develops a playful flirtation, which is complicated by Nelly's involvement with Arnaud's charming editor (Jean-Hugues Anglade). What follows is a devastating succession of near-misses and might-have-beens that frame the hesitations and sudden pleasures of unexpected love. "A winning romance! Exceptionally touching and astonishing" (Gary Arnold, Washington Times). French with English subtitles. DVD is letterboxed; includes theatrical trailer, cast & director profiles, filmographies, photo gallery, and optional subtitles. France, 1996, 103 mins. DVD $37.95
