Just the Two of Us - DVD

Normandy teacher Blanche Renard (Virginie Efira) was understandably swept off her feet by attentive, tender banker Grégoire Lamoureux (Melvil Poupaud). As the next few years brought a move to the provinces and children, however, his fixation upon her grew ever more controlling and toxic-to a point where more than her autonomy was imperiled. Valérie Donzelli's harrowing study also stars Romane Bohringer, Virginie Ledoyen, Dominique Reymond. 105 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack French; Subtitles; English. In French with English subtitles.

A comically bittersweet coming of age story, Claude Berri's The Two of Us is also a poignant drama of identity and heritage. When an 8-year-old Jewish boy (Alain Cohen) living in Nazi-occupied France is sent by his parents to live in the country with the Catholic parents of their friends, he is faced with a culture clash both religious and generational. As the grandfatherly Pepe, beloved character actor Michel Simon infuses the role with a gruff tenderness, his growing relationship with the boy a touching portrayal of connection in a broken world. Cohen Film Collection is proud to present a gorgeous new 4K restoration of this world cinema classic.

This thriller follows a girl who runs for her life and depends on a mysterious stranger to escape danger and pull off the biggest score of her life.
