Severe on his parishioners, his sermons stern and unforgiving, Vianney felt himself a coward, worthy only of permanent residence in the confessional. Lola: Lola takes place in the Atlantic coastal city of Nantes, France. A young man, Roland Cassard (Marc Michel) is letting his life waste away until he has a chance encounter with Lola (Aimée), a woman he used to know as a teenager before World War II and who is now a cabaret dancer. Though Roland is quite smitten with her, Lola is preoccupied with her former lover, Michel, who abandoned her and her seven-year-old son years before... Model Shop: Within a 24-hour period a weary young architect drifts around LA, meets a beautiful French model, falls in love with her, and then helps her get back to France. Bay of Angels: Bay of the Angels stars Jeanne Moreau as a middle-aged Parisian gambling addict who leaves her husband and children and heads for the roulette tables of Nice. There she meets young and handsome Claude Mann--a meeting which coincides with Moreau's first winning streak. The Umbrellas of Cherbourg: Madame Emery and her daughter Geneviève (Deneuve) sell umbrellas at their little boutique in the coastal town of Cherbourg in Normandy, France.

Extraordinary Collection
To have Jacques Demy's entire oeuvre at hand is simply amazing. Many of the films have never been shown here in the US at all and several have only had showings at festivals, La naissance du jour (Break of Day) being an example. Having known him, he said that filming the Colette story in the original settings was a pure joy and that it was Colette's daughter who came to him to produce the work.One must compliment Arte and Mme. Agnès Varda for their support for this project. Not all artists, film directors especially, have been so well-served. For those who know his work so little, this collection will prove to be a pleasant surprise: the work of a man who adored films himself and gave us some films to be cherished.

Edizione completa e impeccabile
Splendida edizione integrale dei film di Jacques Demy, uno dei maestri francesi più interessanti e dimenticati (almeno "Lola", "Les parapluies de Cherbourg", "Les demoiselles de Rochefort" e "Trois places pour le 26" sono tra i capolavori del cinema d'oltralpe). Non si potrebbe fare di meglio, e non aspettatevi di vedere in Italia questa edizione, che è originale francese ma con sottotitoli opzionali in inglese per tutti i film (a parte "Niente di grave, suo marito è incinto", che non ha sottotitoli ma è presente sia in versione inglese che in versione francese; e a parte i due film girati da Demy in inglese, che hanno però i sottotitoli opzionali in francese). Ci sono anche tutti i cortometraggi di Demy, alcuni documentari su di lui fra cui uno molto esauriente girato dalla compagna Agnès Varda, e contenuti speciali interessanti e non troppo autocelebrativi per quasi tutti i film. Come ciliegina sulla torta, un cd con le musiche scritte da Michel Legrand per i film di Demy. Imperdibile per chi ama il cinema francese.

Excellent coffret, mais l'emballage est insuffisant...
Très intéressante collection de 12 DVD et 1 CD à la mémoire de Jacques Demy, réalisée par Agnès Varda et son équipe familiale de la rue Daguerre. Les films de Jacques Demy sont accompagnés de nombreux compléments à voir absolument. S'il est vrai que l'on pourrait souhaiter parfois une meilleure définition de l'image puisque en 2014 on est habitué (dans les pays "riches" seulement) aux diffusions en haute définition sur les grands écrans de nos télévisions, je suppose qu'il y a eu de bonnes raisons techniques ou autres pour que cela ne se fasse pas.Une seule critique : l'emballage par Amazon n'était pas suffisant et un des 8 coins du coffret est arrivé endommagé.Faudrait-il aller acheter son coffret directement à la rue Daguerre pour éviter ce problème ?Difficile quand on habite à plus de 500 km de Paris ![mercredi 31.12.2014]

Ne pas s'en priver !
Un cadeau pour mon épouse qui est tombée raide dingue devant les films de Jacques Demy qu'elle adore et surtout pour la qualité des suppléments. Ne pas hésiter, des heures de magie et de tranquillité !
