The main problem that he and Insdorf have is that
they have no camera crew or anything. IFC basically
"steals" the broadcast from French TV (Canal +, I assume)
and the pair have to narrate over the images, not
knowing who or what is going to be shown. Insdorf
does a good job translating, if you've ever seen her
translate for a whole panel at Telluride you'll take
full notice of her significant language gifts.

If you're in Chicago let me recommend Jonathan Rosenbaum,
my favorite critic-- knowledgeable, opinionated, and
educational. His reviews are all posted on the Chicago Reader
