Christiane F.
This movie portrays the drug scene in Berlin in the 1970s, following tape recordings of Christiane F. 14-year-old Christiane lives with her mother and little sister in a typical multi-story apartment building in Berlin. She's fascinated by 'The Sound', a new disco with the most modern equipment. Although legally she's too young, she asks a friend to take her. There, she meets Detlef, who's in a clique where everybody's on drugs. Step by step she gets drawn deeper into the scene.

I accidentally discovered this book not too long ago. I read it in two days. Absolute page-turner. Will try to find the movie.
Deux ou trois choses que je sais d'elle
Jean-Luc Godard, 1966
Saw this one again at the Cinematheque last week. Prostitution is a constantly recurring theme in the oeuvre of Godard and is the central topic of this film. The beautiful actress Marina Vlady plays a housewife living in the bleak lower middle class concrete high rise suburbs of Paris. She spends most of her day in beauty parlours and clothing shops. As her husband's income is insufficient to finance her need to keep up in the modern consumerist treadmill, she turns a few tricks during the day to help cover expenses (including the purchase of their tiny family car, which her husband attributes to her ability as a bargain hunter). She is not the only housewife and mother working as a prostitute. Indeed this is portrayed as a common occurrence, with some mothers being told by their husbands to do this. The ladies have an incall location that also doubles as a day care center where their children are looked over by an old pimp while the mothers are seeing clients. One client hires two women for a threesome in which he videotapes the ladies walking around the bedroom while their heads are covered with travel handbags with airline logos on them. This client is identified as an American journalist from Arkansas although the actor speaks English with an obvious Parisian accent.
Godard's preoccupation with prostitution stems from the dim view he takes of post war consumerist society in which he sees us all as whores, as slaves to the lure of the accumulation of commercial commodities, which we find so overpowering that there is nothing we will not do or allow to be done to us in the service of our idolatry of the products that are being sold to us. The entire film has a Pop Art visual style in which marketing logos are omnipresent.

The Bear,
I checked on Netflix and that film is available under the English title, "2 or 3 Things I Know About Her". I put it in my queue.

Le film de Christiane F. est réellement mauvais comparément au livre! Le film ne montre rien!
Il est très vieux donc difficile à trouver! Un petit film de 1:15 si je me trompe pas.
One more to add to my list in Post # 25
Concussion http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2296697/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2 Which is kind of the Lesbian Belle Du Jour, or so it has been said
Stars Robin Weigert, who you may remember for her rather disgusting, profane "Calamity Jane" in the series Deadwood, Here she is much more presentable and yet still a little off. You wonder just how long her concussion lasted! Pretty good movie, though.

EagerBeaver, did you know that word "queue" means dick in french? Sorry for interfering, but this made me laugh

Well since I do not speak French I wouldn't know, but for what it's worth, when I run "queue" through Google Translate it's the same in both languages. Queue=queue
English queue is "file" in french. These words are called false friends or "de faux amis", same words though different semantics. And English word "file" is "fichier" in french. "Des glissements sémantiques" all over the place. Anyway, thank you for mentioning that the show is available on Netflix, I will watch it.

Really? You mean I've been calling people "Dick Hole" all these years?
ok to get back on topic:
Mighty Aphrodite
directed by Woddy Allen
Dressed to Kill with Michael Caine and Angie Dickinson, directed by Brian De Palma:
A mysterious blonde woman kills one of a psychiatrist's patients, and then goes after the high-class call girl who witnessed the murder.

The main meaning of the French word "la queue" is tail, as in the tail of a dog. The usage of queue to mean cock is slang.
"Queue" actually has a more precise meaning than "file". A file is a folder into which things are placed, perhaps in no order, perhaps never to be looked at again. A queue is a file into which things are placed in a numerical or chronological order, whereby each waits its turn. So in my queue right now, I have 39 movies ranked 1-39. #1 is the aforementioned Jean-Luc Godard film, which I bumped to the top of my queue and it will have its turn some time next week. Movie #39 in my queue, on the other hand, is going to have to wait for months before it has its turn.
Klute with Jane Fonda and Donald Sutherland
A small-town detective searching for a missing man has only one lead: a connection with a New York prostitute.

You are right Captain, it is a very common slang, but when you say "ma queue" 99.99% of your audience will think that you are talking about your manhood, rather than about some list where items are treated on a first come first served basis.The main meaning of the French word "la queue" is tail, as in the tail of a dog.
