Just a heads up to our Canadian readers -- the current issue of La Semaine magazine comes with a free DVD of La Chambre des officiers (the magazine itself is only $2Cdn). The film, directed by Francois Dupeyron, was nominated for the Palm d'Or at Cannes and won two Cesar awards. Unfortunately, there are no English subtitles on the DVD but, even if you can't understand French, it is a visually striking film and a good opportunity to test Alexander Mackendrick's theory that you should be able to understand 60-80% of a film without subtitles. The DVD is 16x9 enhanced, however, and has 5.1 surround sound.
