1.0 out of 5 stars Another joke from Cahiers du Cinema... (Not the first one!), May 5, 2010

This review is from: The Sentinel / The Life of the Dead ( La Sentinelle / La Vie des morts ) [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 Import - France ] (DVD)

Achtung! The "Cahiers du Cinema" can't even put the right film on the DVDs . On this two disks package the first film is correctlly :"La Vie des mortts." by Desplechin But the second disk is not :" La Sentinelle" as indicated on the cover, but "Sauvage innocence" By Garrel..... What a joke But what can you expect from these pseudo-intellectuels?
