"The screenplay of the 1987 movie, as written by Charles Bukowski."
"When Barbet Schroeder released his documentary General Idi Amin Dada in 1974, it must have been quite a sensation. Amin gave full cooperation to Schroeder (the documentary carries the subtitle "Self Portrait"), sitting for numerous interviews, stage-managing a series of public appearances in front of adoring crowds, and even scoring the film with his accordion music. Is this joking, amiable "man of the people" the same dictator who put ..."
"Michael Keaton liefert eine glaubwürdige Verkörperung von Hannibal Lecter in diesem zwar weit hergeholten, aber den Pulsschlag beschleunigenden Thriller über einen Polizisten, dessen im Sterben liegender Sohn zum Überleben seltenes Knochenmark benötigt, das nur ein Psychopath, der in der Todeszelle sitzt, zur Verfügung stellen kann. Nachdem er sich bereit erklärt hat als Spender zu dienen, nutzt er die Knochenmarkspende zur Flucht, vers ..."
"You can take this 1992 thriller one of two ways: it's either a highly suspenseful movie about an unfortunate young woman's psychological breakdown, or it's a glossy slasher movie starring two of Hollywood's best young actresses. Or maybe it's both at the same time-or perhaps it's the clever and well-acted thriller for its first hour before resorting to the routine shocks of a cheap horror flick. However you look at it, there's no denyin ..."

"While The Godfather was making moviegoers an offer they couldn't refuse, La Vallée was wowing art-house crowds with its flower-powered search for paradise in the jungles of New Guinea. It's there that an adventurous diplomat's wife (Bulle Ogier), hoping to find the forbidden feathers of a rare exotic bird, embarks on a deeper, more personal quest when she encounters a makeshift family of hippies seeking an unmapped valley from whic ..."

"Often exploring themes of addiction, sexual power games, and compulsive behavior, Barbet Schroeder's 1983 film Tricheurs is a powerfully impudent look into the world of some rather glamorous gambling addicts. In yet another fascinating role, Bulle Ogier (Discreet Charm of The Bourgeoisie, Maitresse) is cast among a stylish milieu of gamblers on the Portuguese island of Madera. There she becomes involved with a slick gamblers scheme to r ..."
"Drifter Olivier (Gérard Depardieu) lands in Paris and partners up on a friend's home invasion. Ostensibly they're breaking into the vacant flat of a vacationing old lady, but in reality it's the kinky dungeon of a high-class dominatrix with a powerful client list. The bearish Depardieu falls for the lithe professional, blonde Ariane (Bulle Ogier) in a black bob wig and dressed in tight leather and latex, and soon moves into her hands ..."
"From 1971-1979 over 300,000 people were put to death at the behest of Uganda's horrifyingly charismatic dictator: General Idi Amin Dada. With more than a touch of cynical creativity, director Barbet Schroeder (Barfly, More) uses an accordion soundtrack performed by Idi Amin, and even credits the film as a 'self-portrait' (Amin was reportedly allowed to have a say in how he was portrayed). Through ingenious editing and camera work, Sch ..."
"Barbet Schroeder, the Oscar-nominated director of Reversal of Fortune, made his debut with this jaundiced view of the European youth drug culture. Klaus Grünberg is a naive German student who falls for blond American junkie Mimsy Farmer and discovers drugs in Paris. He follows the flighty babe to Ibiza, a sunny Mediterranean island paradise, where he falls into the world of former Nazi-turned-heroin-pusher Heinz Engelmann and succumbs t ..."

"An elegantly baroque exercise from the middle of his brief and brilliant career, Chinese Roulette finds Rainer Werner Fassbinder exploring the sinister side of a weekend in the country. At an isolated mansion, a husband and wife bump into each other--with their lovers in tow. Their lame daughter shows up with her mute nanny, adding to the tension, and the festivities culminate in a spiteful truth-telling game. Fassbinder choreographs th ..."
"There are times when Raul Ruiz's maddening and mesmerizing film resembles a direct-to-video erotic thriller in which rampant clichés collide in scenes surreal in their straight-faced silliness. And there are moments when the fractured narrative and stylistic shards create a sophisticated study in alienation and disconnection. These elements often coexist in the same scenes. Ruiz is a master craftsman whose cinematic intelligence is put ..."

"The script for this movie was written by outrageous poet-author-alcoholic Charles Bukowski. But director Barbet Schroeder makes it into an oddly amusing story of a pugnacious drunk writer (Mickey Rourke) based on Bukowski himself. Rourke spends almost all of his time at the bar, struggling with sobriety (he's against it) and, occasionally, having fistfights with the bartender (Frank Stallone). He meets another souse, a formerly attracti ..."
