Ozu - Record Of A Tenement Gentleman / Flavour Of Green Tea Over Rice (Subtitled) (Box Set)

Advantages: use of colour, sets, music
Disadvantages: subtitles

...If you can speak French, or can cope with subtitles, this film is a must! Dark in a post-noir way, with sinisterly strange characters and a superb plot, entwined with a love story and great acting, make this a classic cult film. Beautifully filmed with amazing use of colour, sets, and sound, this film, about a lodger in a block of flats in a sort of post-apocalyptic france, where not everything is as it seems, takes all the senses on a twisty journey, and out safely the other end. The memorable aspect of this film is the character sketches portrayed in it - caricatures of people we all know combine to make a tenement of kooks we care about. Everything about this film is good, even the subtitles make sense!... Read review

...and soon came over to England, after ten years and ten series it ended in May 2004. I must have seen every episode of Friends well over 10 times now, (some may call that a bit 'sad' but oh well!), The performance of all six actors and actresses is outstanding and every episode has me in stiches of laughter! The Friends Complete Box Set Series 1-10 cost me £189 from HMV when it was first released, it now costs just £99 and you can get it from Virgin, HMV, Woolworth, Amazon, Ebay ect! There are 30 discs in total, all of which are of excellent quality, great sound ect. All together there are 236 episodes, each episode lasts approx. 25 mins.
