Merci Docteur Rey (2002)
Put together a handsome 23-year-old with a penchant for personal ads, his opera-diva mother (Dianne Wiest at her glorious best), her impeccably coutured director and friend (the splendid Bulle Ogier), an enigmatically odd actress (the intriguingly skittish Jane Birkin), a few rent boys, Jerry Hall and Vanessa Redgrave. Add a good dose of narcissism, a little murder and a lost father. Mix with a great eye for visuals (the inimitable Paris as a backdrop), a wonderful soundtrack (from pop to Turandot) and a whimsical homage to film and celebrity. Mix together with a talent for plotting unrivalled since Agatha Christie, and you have the marvellous Merci Docteur Rey. Executive Producer Ismail Merchant has a great instinct for talent and brings together some of the best for Andrew Litvack's debut feature. For his part, Litvack proves worthy of his mentor's heritage in this hilarious and amoral tale.

A Soldier's Daughter Never Cries (1998)
This fictionalized story, based on the family life of writer James Jones, is an emotionless slice-of-life story. Jones here is portrayed as Bill Willis (Kris Kristofferson), a former war hero and now successful author who obviously drinks too much and is starting to experience health problems. Living in France with his wife (Barbara Hershey), daughter (Leelee Sobieski), and an adopted son (Jesse Bradford), the family travels an unconventional road that leaves all of them as outsiders to others. Preaching a sexual freedom, his daughter's sexual acceptance begins at an early age and betrays her when the family moves to Hanover in America. Her sexuality is definitely not the normal for American teens and gives her a bad reputation and outcasts her. Meanwhile her brooding brother struggles with his own inner turmoils about his early desertion in life. Only within the tight knit confines of his family is he comfortable to even speak.
