{"product_id":"belle-toujours","title":"Belle Toujours","description":"Product Description\n\nIn this homage to Luís Buñuel and Jean-Claude Carrière, Manoel de Oliveira reunites the leading characters from the 1967 classic Belle de jour. Picking up from where Buñuel s erotic masterpiece left off, Michel Piccoli returns in Manoel de Oliveira's Belle Toujours as Henri Husson older and wiser, but still every bit the sadist libertine who in the original both lusted after and callously taunted Catherine Deneuve's Séverine to the very end. What exactly did Husson whisper into the ear of her paraplegic husband?\nIn Belle Toujours, Oliveira s Séverine is played by Bulle Ogier, whom Piccoli's Husson first spots sitting a few rows away from him at a concert in Paris. A cat-and-mouse game ensues until Husson manages to gain her attention with the intention of revealing the secret that he alone can unfold. After years of lingering torment, Séverine is finally offered an opportunity to uncover the truth about what her husband learned or didn't learn about her during that fateful visit with Husson so many years earlier.\nSpecial Features:\n- Interviews with: Manoel de Oliveira, Michael Piccoli, Bulle Ogier and Ricardo Trêpa\n- Theatrical Trailer\n- Photo Gallery\n- Press Kit (Download the 39-page press kit, including the director's bio, cast \u0026amp; crew filmographies, production notes, an essay by Randal Johnson (author of Contemporary Film Directors: Manoel de Oliveira) and more via your computer s DVD-ROM drive.)\n- Enhanced for 16x9 Tvs\n- Scene Selections\n- Optional English Subtitles\n\nReview\n\nA winking homage to Luis Buñuel and Jean-Claude Carrière's signature collaboration, Belle de Jour. --Jan Stuart, NEWSDAY\n\nThere is a spry wit and sly sensibility behind the quietly elegant direction... --Sean Axmaker, SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER\n\nSweetly Picturesque...(a) beautifully affecting film. --Aaron Hillis, PREMIERE MAGAZINE\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0015TJGH8\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B0015TJGH8.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Michel Piccoli, Bulle Ogier, Ricardo Trepa|Manoel de Oliveira\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Dvd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
