Milou en mai (1990) *****


The Nasty Girl (1990) *****

Singapore Sling (1990) *****


GoodFellas (1990) *****

Martin Scorsese's masterpiece and arguably the greatest American film of all time ("Citizen Kane" included). This is movie storytelling at its best, capturing the viewer's imagination and involving him in the story in an active and exciting way. A cinematic miracle of the highest order.

Metropolitan (1990) *****

Jane Austen in Manhattan. Wonderfully witty film about rich young preppies attending Christmas parties on the Upper East Side.

Cyrano de Bergerac (1990) *****

Flamboyant and dynamic adaptation of the classic tale, starring Gerard Depardieu as the long-nosed swashbuckler who falls in love with his beautiful cousin, Roxanne (Anne Brochet). A superbly directed, brilliantly written and flawlessly acted film, with magnificently orchestrated crowd movements and beautiful, poetic dialogue, full of charm and humor. A great achievement.
