[/amazon_link]- The Hidden Face (Spanish with subtitles) : An atmospheric mystery about a music conductor and his missing fiancee. Engrossing and intriguing this unpredictable thriller is a must-watch.
– Heartbreaker (French with subtitles) : This film has a storyline very similar to Bollywood romantic comedies. Our floppy looking hero is a facilitator of sorts although his methods are a tad unconventional. Vanessa Paradis (remember her from her chart-topper single “Be My Baby”?) plays the rich heiress our hero must woo to complete his assignment. An entertaining light-hearted watch, this one!
