Soundtrack French; English Subtitles Director Claude Chabrol crafts a claustrophobic and psychologically complex tale of destiny and revenge in THIS MAN MUST DIE. The film begins with a bird's-eye view of a young boy leaving a seaside beach and a speeding black Mustang approaching from the opposite direction. When the two collide in a hit-and-run accident, the movie's action is set in motion. The boy's father, Charles (Michel Duchaussoy), makes a solemn vow to find and kill the man who ended his son's life. Through a bizarre series of hunches, coincidences, and lucky guesses, Charles tracks down Helene (Carol Cellier), the sister-in-law of the man he suspects is the killer, and begins to seduce her in order to insinuate himself into her family life. When he finally comes face to face with Helene's brother-in-law, Paul (Jean Yanne), he finds himself unable to act, despite the man's monstrous behavior and callous attitude. When Charles realizes that Paul's son, Phillippe (Marc Di Napoli) wishes his father dead as well, the forces of destiny and revenge collide. Chabrol's dense and carefully crafted narrative structure explodes in an unexpected and exhilarating chain of events leading to a cathartic and disastrous climax, all portrayed through subtly evocative cinematography and terse performances. Decades later, the film inspired Sean Penn's similarly themed THE CROSSING GUARD. This Man Must Die Reviews: "What lifts it is Chabrol's interest in psychology and Jean Yanne's memorable performance..."

$9.85 Blake Edwards's return to the male-in-meltdown territory he explored in 10 and THAT'S LIFE stars John Ritter as unemployed writer Zach, who is not only suffering from writer's block, but his drinking is out of control, as is his obsessive womanizing, and, not surprisingly, his wife wants to end their marriage. To add to his problems, his house has just burned down, and his agent is knocking at death's door. But since this is a Blake Edwards comedy, Zach has enough charm and relative affluence to continue his pursuits, which the director regards with a bemused deatchment. One of his girlfriends sets his piano on fire, and another gets him to wear a glow-in-the-dark condom, allowing him to engage in a condom duel with her jealous, similarly clad rock-star boyfriend. Eventually, Zach turns ...

Soon, however, he starts receiving phone calls from the mysterious Marlee (Rachel Weisz), who claims that she can turn the jury any way she wants and--for a price--she'll spin it his way. Meanwhile, Marlee is making the same offer to the plaintiff's lawyer, Wendell Rohr (Dustin Hoffman), a Southern ...
