Rating: Summary: Lucien's search for companionship? Review: Red Dwarf is a fine cinematic experience about Lucien, a withdrawn man short in stature and longing for affection, who writes letters for parties in divorce cases for his law firm. This is a tragic position for Lucien, since he deems himself plagued in regards to affectionate relationships. One day he meets the acrobatic orphan Isis, who lives in a circus while also befriending Paola Bendoni, an important client for his law firm. Lucien initiates a love affair with Paola, but he is rejected as Paola is only interested in a lustful adventure. This is something new to Lucien and he finds himself lost in the swirl of emotions trailing the rejection. After having regained some self-esteem, he quits his job and pursues his fatherly care for the young acrobat. Red Dwarf is a tragedy that captivates the mind as the sorrow of Lucien is depicted on the silver screen, and it provides several lesson for the viewers to think about. Le Moine has also mixed a number of controversial issues into the film that will keep the viewers feeling a flow to the film and provide an opportunity for self scrutiny of beliefs.

Rating: Summary: WHEN?!! THIS AGAIN SMEG!! Review: Smeg on a stick! When on earth am I going to search for Red Dwarf on DVD and not come up with this twisted smeging flick. My fellow Dwarfers, when will we ever get Red Dwarf on DVD? I would love to buy it. But no the BBC won't release them in the states. Smeging gits. I look forward when I type in "Red Dwarf" into the search bar and I don't have to see this silly smeging flick. If perchance Grant or Naylor reads this for the sake of all your fans on this side of the world please release our favorite show on DVD for all American fans to watch. Thank you.

Rating: Summary: Bon chic, bon genre Review: There's much to be said about the French, but this film is definitely on the top list of my favorites. Beware, it's not your typical date movie. Explicitly bizarre plot and poignant dark humor will by the very least leave you flabbergasted and entertained. A marvelous addition to any movie fanatic's library!!

Rating: Summary: Not Red Dwarf Review: This is more of a complaint than a review. Note to Amazon - the title of this movie is "The Red Dwarf", not "Red Dwarf". "Red Dwarf" is a wonderfully funny British Sci-fi comedy, whereas "The Red Dwarf" is this weird French movie. You can't imagine how irritated and annoyed I was when I did a "successful" search for "Red Dwarf" and turned up this thing. A little more accuracy in the titles would be appreciated. Thank you.
Rating: Summary: Speaking of Red Dwarf Review: When are they going to release the series on DVD anyway? What's the holdup?
Rating: Summary: Bizarre and beautiful Review: Yvan le Moin's work is like Jean Vigo's of seventy years ago: every composition a strange, troubling, beautiful stirring of turmoils and loves and twisted desires that are never fully explained, because they can't be, but which finally come to peace among themselves at the end. All the faces distinctly right. The leads, a dwarf and a little girl, exquisitely tuned to every move. Etched in black and white, the film begins with murder and ends in a circus tent overflowing with joyous children. Haunting and absolutely marvelous.
