Synopsis:

18 Ans Apres (18 Years Later):

Coline Serreau's 18 Ans Apres (18 Years Later) is a sequel to her 1985 film Three Men and a Cradle, which was re-made in America as Three Men and a Baby. Marie (Madeleine Besson) is now on the verge of turning 18. She decides to spend a summer vacation with her mother Sylvia. Joining them are Sylvia's husband (Ken Samuels) and his two young adult boys (Gregoire Lavollay-Porter and James Thierree). Eventually her three 'dads' (André Dussollier, Michel Boujenah, and Roland Giraud) and a housekeeper show up. The differences between Americans and the French, the foibles of single parenthood, and the pitfalls of middle-aged love and sex provide the material for the film's comedy.

Chaos (NO ENGLISH SUBTITLES):

There is not a decent (or even half-decent) male character to be found in 'Chaos,' a gripping feminist fable with a savage comic edge, written and directed by Coline Serreau. To a person, the female characters are loyal, dependable and mutually supportive. The men are, at best, smug sexist pigs and at worst brutally abusive sadists. The film's contempt for the male ego and sex drive is so unrelenting that 'Chaos' should leave many men feeling momentarily ashamed of their gender and many women fired up for domestic battle.

La Belle verte (Visit to a Green Planet):

As part of an intergalactic coalition, a well-meaning space alien volunteers to bring a message of self-actualization and harmony with nature to the one planet rejected by all her peers as incorrigible--Earth. This family-oriented French sci-fi comedy chronicles her adventures on the chaotic planet. Mila is 150 years old and has five children; encoded in her brain are two telepathic programs designed to restructure the thinking of destructive humans. The first is a fairly mild program designed to inspire the humans to rethink their world and begin asking some difficult questions. The other is far stronger and rapidly indoctrinates subjects with lofty utopian ideals and makes them deeply aware of themselves. Mila lands in Paris and is unnoticed but for the sudden, inexplicable power surges and outages that occur whenever she sends a telepathic message to her alien cohorts. Instead of eating, Mila draws energy from holding newborn babies. It is while holding an orphan infant in an obstetrics ward that her Earthly troubles begin. Feeling deeply for the baby's plight, she confronts the ward's head doctor and when logic fails, looses her programs upon him. Instantly the unsympathetic brute sees the light and begins helping her save the babe from wicked welfare workers.

La Crise (The Crisis):

In this comedy, Victor thought he really had it bad when he lost his wife and his job on the same day. However, when he tries to get some sympathy from his friends, he discovers just how bad things can get, because although everything seems to be just fine with their lives, they are incredibly angry. It seems that, just beneath the surface, everyone's cozy situation is about to fall apart, and they know it. Children are acting up, wives or husbands are just about to leave, and there is nothing much to smile about. Desperate for some comfort, he goes to a bar and has a few drinks. There, he meets the one person he's encountered so far who doesn't seem to be mad at the world: a seemingly simpleminded man with no home, no job, and no prospects of getting either. He allows his new human mascot to accompany him while he goes to visit his parents and is distressed to find that his mother is leaving his father for a much-younger man.

Romuald et Juliette (Mama, There's a Man in Your Bed):

This easygoing French comedy -- originally and more wittily titled Romuald et Juliette -- is about a conservative Parisian yogurt-company executive Daniel Auteuil who by circumstance finds himself drawing closer to his black cleaning woman (Firmine Richard). A romance develops, which the impoverished woman exploits to the advantage of her five out-of-wedlock children.

3 hommes et un couffin (Three Men and a Cradle):

A trio of inept bachelors receives an unexpected lesson in the challenges of fatherhood when a young infant turns up on their doorstep in this popular, appealing French comedy. The child was unknowingly fathered by one of the roommates, but the mother, who had relationships with each man, leaves no hint as to which one is the father. Even worse, she's flown off to America, meaning the clueless Pierre, Jacques, and Michel must work together to take care of the adorable infant. As one might expect, most of the film's comedy concerns the men's reluctant adaptation to fatherhood, as they become increasingly attached to the child and compete to become the best father. The film's good-natured if familiar humor was welcomed with strong box office, numerous award nominations, and an American remake, Three Men and a Baby.

Qu'est-ce qu'on attend pour être heureux! (What're We Waiting For To Be Happy!):

In this film that sends up the foibles of filmmaking, a standard crew of actors, stage-hands, director, writers, producers, and others are gathered for the filming of a 45-second automobile commercial. Each role embodies an archetype (the harried director who has a deadline to meet, the Scrooge production manager who has a budget to meet, and the writers who are above these mundane concerns), and these personalities drive the working actors over the edge until they decide to lock them up and do their own thing -- happiness can be just around the corner if you are in the driver's seat. Hopefully, the actors will be able to bow out before the police catch on to the situation.

Pourquoi pas! (Why Not!):

A threesome becomes a foursome in this sensitive drama. The tale begins with the relationship between a recently divorced man and woman (from different marriages) and the bisexual they get involved with. At first all three are happy in their new arrangement, but then the divorced fellow suddenly leaves and those remaining in the relationship become quite tense. Fortunately the fellow returns with another, more conventional fellow. Eventually the three persuade him to join them.

Mais qu'est ce qu'elles veulent (But What Do They (Women) Want? ):

In this documentary by Colline Serreau, known for her feature film Why Not?, a selection of Frenchwomen in characteristically no-win situations discuss what they are experiencing and answer, if only by implication, the question: 'What do women want?'

18 Years Later:

It is the summer after graduation. Marie's parents know she will soon be grown up and gone. In the meantime, she's off to a country villa with Mom, Mom's American boyfriend, his two sons and the housekeeper. When Marie's fathers all three of them - and a couple of school friends drop in, it's a full house.

Chaos (NO ENGLISH SUBTITLES):

A bourgeois couple, modern yet conventional (Vincent Lindon and Catherine Frot). One night by accident, a young prostitute barges into their lives. Hounded down, beaten up, threatened, she will continue to struggle, with the help of a well off lady, first for her survival-her resurrection-then for her dignity and freedom. Stormy encounters for everyone involved.

La Belle verte:

Film about an alien who comes to earth to improve the health of the planet's environment.

La Crise:

A young lawyer must start a new life after losing both his wife and job in the same day.

Romuald et Juliette:

A black cleaning woman comes to the unlikely rescue of her white employer after his yogurt empire is threatened with collapse.
