Even if I didn’t particularly care for her last film, Let the Sunshine In (though Juliette Binoche is incredible in it), a new Claire Denis movie will always be a cause for celebration. And the Trouble Every Day and Beau Travail director helming an esoteric, erotic, deep space sci-fi thriller with an incredible cast? Well, that’s reason enough to throw a damn party. Her latest, High Life, has been on my must-watch radar since I first heard about it, and this new French trailer only cranks up my anticipation.

'Ad Vitam' Trailer: 'Raw' Star Garance Marillier Tries To Live Forever In This French Sci-Fi Series
Some schools of thought posit striving for immortality and
finding ways to stave off death as the driving force behind everything we as
the human race do. Regardless of the veracity of that stance, it’s also formed
a key component of science fiction as a genre. That includes the trailer for
the new French sci-fi thriller series Ad Vitam, where people
live well past 100 and that stars Raw breakout Garance
Marillier. Take a peek after the jump, it looks like a damn fine time.

Earlier this week, we got our first glimpse at footage from
Martyrs director Pascal Laugier’s new movie, the upcoming
Ghostland. The release is still a few months out—March 14 in
France, so no telling when the rest of the world will get our grubby mitts on
it—but now we’ve got a longer trailer to gawk at.

'Ghostland' Teaser Trailer: 'Martyrs' Director Returns With New Horrors
Pascal Laugier hasn’t made a movie since 2012’s The
Tall Man, but his brutal 2008 masterpiece Martyrs may
be the defining moment of the New French Extremity movement.
(His only other work in that time was an episode of the TV series
XIII.) He’s set to return to theaters this year with
Ghostland (or Incident in a Ghost Land
depending on where you look). If that’s not enough to perk your ears up, there’s
a short, to-the-point new teaser trailer to whet your whistle.

DVD/Blu-ray Review: '36th Precinct'
Originally released in 2004, French cop drama “36th Precinct” is hitting region 1 DVD and Blu-ray courtesy of Palisades Tartan. The film starts strong out of the gate, and the first half favorably compares to crime films like “Heat”. There is action, drama, flawed characters, cops who play by their own rules as they dispense their own brand of justice, and a general level of badassness. It is tense, packed with violence, and kicks some serious ass. That is until it falls completely apart halfway through.
