"It's All In The Stomach" ~ Amor And The Art Of Dress Design.......2007-06-09

Note: French with English subtitles.

If you're in th mood for a little French whimsy you might want to take a look at the light-hearted comedy/romance, 'A La Mode' released in '94. This rather charming film tells the story of Fausto (Ken Higlin), a teenage orphan apprentced to a Jewish tailor. As Fausto learns the business he ultimately finds himself not only passionate about his new profession but also madly in love with the beautiful Tonie (Florence Darel), the daughter of a nearby auto mechanic. Will Fausto be successful in his dream of becoming a famous designer of woman's wear and win the heart of Tonie as well?

'A La Mode' is an enjoyable but not particularly memorable film. Many of my favorite moments take place in the tailor's shop during conversations between Fausto and his mentor Mietek (Jean Yanne). Mietek's dialogue is clever, crisp and meaningful. He delivers the best performance in the film, adding substance and depth to an otherwise shallow storyline. Then of course there's the lovely Florence Darelto whos' smile is enough to cause any male heart to flutter. Her presence alone make the film worth at least one viewing.

Au contraire! C'est tres amusant et drole.......2007-02-25

This film is quite the charmer, as are all the characters and the French je ne sais quoi spirit as well. Set in the late 60's, but not focussed on the political ferment of the times, it starts off in a very Dickensian mood, but very quickly evolves into a delighful look into a particular quartier, where Jewish tradesmen take on apprentices (in this case two non-Jewish orphans) and the plot, such as it is, revolves around their growing affection for each other and the surrounding community as the two orphan friends find their metiers and manhood.

Meanwhile the soundtrack is reminiscent of 8 1/2, with a certain circus atmosphere which permeates the film. It is a kind of pleasant supperealistic fantastic story that is peculiarly French and if you let yourself follow its well-defined universe, you are in for a treat.

A mix of comedy and passion does not make a movie a success!.......2000-11-07

This film will not make the list of 100 best films ever, nor the top 200 or 300, but the film does make a decent effort to make you laugh. Overall, it is a decent film without any break through performances. The movie is the story of Fausto, an orphan who becomes an apprentice to an established tailor. Fausto, however, has dreams of becoming a fashion designer, particulary for women. Fausto's friend in the film provides much of comical relief, and is the only character who seems to have any depth.

Description

La légende d'Eer is a powerful 7-channel electro-acoustic composition which Xenakis created in 1977-78 to be played in "Le Diatope", a curvaceous architectural construction designed by the composer, together with a visual component including laser lights. This "multi-media" work was composed for the opening of the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, where it was performed for three months and seen by thousands of people.

* This new mix was created by Xenakis' associate Gerard Pape from the original analog master tape, transferred at high-resolution 96khz/24-bit sound for the optimum quality.

* Use of the original master tape restored almost 2 minutes and 30 seconds to the piece, released here for the first time.

* The performance of La Légende d'Eer is shown with a film by Bruno Rastoin, comprised of 350 stills made during the original performance of the work at the "Diatope". This is the ONLY visual documentation made of the historic event.

* 60-minute Interview of Iannis Xenakis by musicologist Harry Halbreich.

* 5.1 Surround Sound in Dolby Digital and additional DTS.

* Dedicated stereo mix presented in 96-khz/24-bit PCM.

* Subtitles: French, German, Spanish.

* Playable on ALL NTSC capable DVD decks and computers.

Customer Reviews:

Great reconstruction and very interesting interview........2006-02-02

Mode has released a wonderful DVD you shouldn't miss if you are interested on Xenakis' music or in electronic music in general terms.

La legende d'Eer is one of Xenakis' best works for tape, done for 7 channel tapes and created for a space placed in Paris that doesn't exist today and that was designed by Iannis Xenakis himself. The building was made based on mathematical theories, like the music, and it can be watched on this DVD in many photos that shows how it was, how it was built and the performances of the work realize inside, a kind of spectacle with music, architecture and lights. Watching all these, together with some phrases Mode has chosen, make the listening of La legende d'Eer a new and fascinating experience.

It's highly recommended this new remastering by Mode, much more better than the release on CD launched by Montaigne, that has not image, of course.

The interview of Iannis Xenakis and the musicologist Harry Halbreich is another GREAT reason for having this DVD, as it is a document very important and unique about Xenakis thinking about music.

A marvellous DVD.
