 This high-brow discussion programme demonstrates that the difficulty of an extract is largely to do with content. The voices are clear, the vocabulary normal, but there is an extra effort involved in following the thread of a complex argument. 3.0

Faites entrer l'accusé

An excellent series on France 2 which reconstructs celebrated crimes. Interviews with police, family etc, make it more difficult than the simple documentary 4.0

Le froussard héroique

 Malcolm McDowell playing the celebrated Victorian anti-hero  5.0

Beaumarchais

31 Mbytes

 Historical drama, with the excellent Fabrice Luchini 6.0

Joe la crasse

 American film 'Joe dirt'. One would expect it to be harder to follow, given the subject, but in fact it is fairly clear.  7.0

La grande bouffe

 . Wonderful film that shocked many critics when it appeared. 8.0
