Director Lina Wertmuller's "Seduction of Mimi" is one of her most intelligent films.  While it's still definitely a comedy,  the plot about a laborer taking on the mob infiltration of local elections, is extremely political.  Giancarlo Giannini has never been better and his performance shouldn't be missed.  Thankfully, FOX LORBER has also provided a stellar transfer, with sharp contrast and color values.   There are no artifacts present.  The digital monaural sound is unremarkable.

Sonia Braga is excellent in this portuguese comedy about a wealthy widow attempting to do good for her native village and doing battle with big business out to exploit it.   While the film succeeds in its comedic aspirations, it's not at the loss of a deeper meaning.  The dvd transfer is outstanding.  Director Carlos Diegues composes many colorful images that are perfectly represented with this slick, polished transfer, with vibrant, well balanced colors.  The digital mono sound is unremarkable.  A featurette is also offered. 

When "Claire", a satirist, and "Dr. Benedict", author of a study on sexual behavior, attend a Women's Writer retreat, the two can't help but display their attraction to each other.  While dealing with a gay theme, the story has a wit to it, making it more accessible to those beyond this group.   The transfer is generally sharp, with fine contrast, though artifacts are present in a few sequences.   The dolby digital mono sound is unremarkable.

Director/writer Eric Rohmer's intelligent comedy involves a young diplomat trying to remain faithful to his fiance after being introduced to two younger beautiful girls while on vacation.  The film's funniest segments also ring of truth, and the film also manages to become poignant.  The color transfer is excellent with no artifacts present, and great clarity.  The digital mono sound is unremarkable.
