Don't let the clunky title fool you. This set of hard-to-find works from the midcareer of French director Andre Techine was long overdue. It contains Hotel America (Hotel des Ameriques, 1981, 95 mins.), his first of many collaborations with the beautiful Catherine Deneuve. She was nominated for a Cesar Award for her role as a nurse who enters into a thorny romance with Patrick Dewaere. I Don't Kiss (J'embrasse Pas, 1991, 115 mins.) stars Manuel Blanc in the tale of a naive aspiring actor who is reduced to selling his body on the streets of Paris, where he fruitlessly falls for a high-end call girl (Emmanuelle Beart). Reuniting with Deneuve, My Favorite Season (Ma Saison Preferee, 1993, 124 mins.) is Techine's fascinating, dark, and somber story of an estranged brother and sister (Deneuve and Daniel Auteuil) who must come to terms with what they've become professionally and personally when their aging mother falls ill. Lastly, in the 1962-set Wild Reeds (1995, 110 mins.), a group of teenagers confronts emotional, sexual, and political turmoil provoked by their own personal lives and the larger social framework of a provincial town.
