De battre mon coeur s'est arrêté (R.Duris/J.Audiard)
AKA "The Beat that my Heart Skipped".
Just watched this on DVD... thought it was probably one of the best things I've seen so far this year. A remake of "Fingers", it follows Duris' character juggle his work as a bully-boy for his manipulative father with his ambitions to become a concert pianist.
This is the best performace I've seen from Duris, and if you're a fan of the actor or Jacques Audiard you'll like this. E. Devos (from Audiard's earlier "Read My Lips") has a small but interesting role here.
The French DVD is not English-friendly but is recommended if your French is up to it (or you don't mind that it's not up to it!) Although it will come out in English-speaking territories anyway (it opened in UK cinemas last Friday).
Anyway, highly recommended, and well worth picking up either now or later (depending on your linguistic needs...)

I have the US-version on my WISH list at the review panel. Hopefully will be able to write a review for it (and I hope that it won't be a port of the French disc),
The UK disc is also coming out...

Note that dvdimport have started to stock R2 titles. The selection is currently limited, but the prices are good and it provides a cheaper alternative to ordering from Europe, especially for us Canadians because of our silly customs regulations.

Not a lot of foreign films but worth checking. These are mostly French releases without english subs though like Downfall 3 disc.
