“Tristana” captures Luis Bunuel’s Spanish ancestry, and Catherine Deneuve, playing the title character, shows the moral transformation of her heroine with virtuosity.

“Suspiria” by Dario Argento is an outstanding European horror cinema. The Italian horror film is a mix of great music, evocative cinematography and stories straight out of the Brothers Grimm.

“Rosemary’s Baby” by Roman Polanski, with the legendary lullaby by Krzysztof Komeda, is a movie about irrationality manifesting itself in the midst of American civilization.

“Psycho” by Hitchcock is not only a superb thriller, but also a fascinating and perverse study of guilt and punishment, in which all the film’s characters are entangled.

“The Lacemaker,” directed by Claude Goretta, tells the story of a girl crushed by an amorous profession, with Isabelle Huppert playing a phenomenal role.

“Das Boot” is a high-profile film by Wolfgang Petersen, which opened the doors of Hollywood for the director. Behind the well-made work, however, lies a lied message.

“Bright Star” directed by Jane Campion, is an ethereal tale of first love that, despite the fleeting wings of a butterfly, marks us with the stigma of suffering.

“Marie Antoinette,” directed by Sofia Coppola, is a truly rococo portrait of the French queen, played magnificently by Kirsten Dunst, and an interesting depiction of the era.

“The Portrait of a Lady,” directed by Jane Campion, is a film that tells the story of a woman’s maturation, which becomes a struggle against hypocrisy and the constraints of social conventions.

“Blonde” by Andrew Dominik is a movie that antagonized film critics, viewers and Marilyn Monroe admirers. See now our review of this picture.

“The Collector” is one of six links in Eric Rohmer’s “Moral Tales,” in which the New Wave director takes an ironic look at the sexual revolution in France.

“A Man Escaped” exemplifies the greatness of Robert Bresson’s cinema. The authentic story of a World War II prisoner here has allegorical meanings.
