New on Blu-ray: THERE'S NO TOMORROW / SANS LENDEMAIN (1939) Starring Edwige Feuillere

BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: From the masterful Max Ophüls (Letter from an Unknown Woman, The Earrings of Madame de…) comes There’s No Tomorrow (Sans lendemain), a bittersweet melodrama with a dash of film noir. Edwige Feuillère (From Mayerling to Sarajevo) commands the screen as a woman of bourgeois origin, now reduced to dancing in a disreputable nightclub to support her young son. When her lost love (George Rigaud, I Walk Alone), now a successful doctor, suddenly reappears, she puts on the charade that her life has been far more fortunate. But maintaining such an illusion won’t come easy. A ravishing and tragic screen romance, There’s No Tomorrow glitters with Ophüls’ trademark sophistication and opulent camerawork.

DVD & Blu-ray: OLIVIA (1951) Starring Edwige Feuillere and Simone Simon

BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: A remarkable work by one of France s first groundbreaking female filmmakers, OLIVIA easily merits rediscovery today after being neglected for nearly 70 years. Plunging the viewer and the main character into a true lion's den, Jacqueline Audry (1908-1977) depicts a 19th century boarding school for young girls, one divided into two camps where all the shots, even the most underhanded, are allowed. That's because the two mistresses of the house, Miss Julie (Edwige Feuillère) and Miss Cara (Simone Simon) are engaged in a turf war as well as a war of the heart. Competing for the affections of their students, they route passion, hatred and unexpected reversals of loyalties. OLIVIA is a truly unique film that depicts a world almost without men. For 1950s France, when homosexuality was still largely considered deviant, Audry has made a fundamentally feminist film.
