I CAN'T SLEEP
Our Price: $24.95

Paralleling such recent jigsaw narratives as Red and Pulp Fiction  , Claire Denis weaves together disparate fragments which gradually reveal the      underlying connections between a group of disconnected characters: a tall        Lithuanian blonde arrives in Paris looking for work as an actress; a West      Indian musician pressures his wife to move back to Martinique; the police hunt a serial killer and a beautiful black queen performs in drag at a local        nightclub. In a major atmospheric study of contemporary alienation, Denis        beautifully captures the psychological undercurrents that haunt the modern     urban world. French with English subtitles.                                    Claire Denis---France---1995---110 mins.
INTRUDER, THE (DENIS)
Our Price: $24.98

Claire Denis (Beau Travail) explores themes of memory, perception, and     mortality in an abstruse but rewarding metaphysical drama. Veteran actor         Michel Subor stars as Louis, an aging loner who lives in a woodland compound     on the French-Swiss border. After suffering a mild heart attack, Louis is      forced to emerge from his isolation and begin a harrowing quest--first for an  organ transplant, then for a long-lost son, and finally for an elusive sense   of peace. Set alternately in South Korea and Tahiti, Denis' film is often        inscrutable, but its visceral effects are lasting. "A fearless filmmaker's     boldest experiment yet, a direct line from her unconscious to yours" (Dennis   Lim, Village Voice). In French with English subtitles.                   Claire Denis---France---2004---130 mins.
