Desaccord Parfait / Twice Upon A Time (2006) - Antoine de Caunes

Far from being a great entertainer, but it is always a delight to watch Jean Rochefort and Charlotte Rampling. Some good laughs, too (mostly at the cost of les anglais!).

Jubilee (1977) - Derek Jarman

I was 15 before I realized I was dead.
Without progress life would be unbearable. Progress has taken the place of Heaven.
In those days, desires weren't allowed to become reality. So fantasy was substituted for them - films, books, pictures. They called it 'art'. But when your desires become reality, you don't need fantasy any longer, or art.

Becket (1964) - Peter Glenville

King Henry II: So what in most people is morality, in you it's just an exercise in... what's the word?

Thomas a Becket: Aesthetics.

King Henry II: Yes, that's the word. Always "aesthetics."

King Henry II: I'm suddenly very intelligent. It probably comes from making love to that French girl last night.

Until the day of his death, no man can be sure of his courage.

Saintliness is also a temptation.
