The Piano Teacher
Never has perversion been so shockingly real without going for cheap thrills or voyeurism.

When a student, Walter (Benoît Magimel), unexpectedly falls for her, she finally finds a way to materialize her ultimate fantasies.

Piñero
Piñero is sort of a poor man's Before Night Falls. The necessary elements to tell the life of an artist are present but the picture lacks focus.

 |
Planet of the Apes
Who would have believed that an advanced primate civilization primate had developed on the flanks of Mont St-Michel Mount, off the Breton coast in France? Probably not Tim Burton or Mark Wahlberg, judging by their flagrant absence in this new version of Planet of the Apes. .

 |
Plunkett & MacLeane
A small period piece film (18th Century England) without pretentiousness, Plunkett & MacLeane is inspired by the journey of two highway robbers reveals itself to be fairly boring and ineffective, even more paradoxical for an action movie.
|
 |
Poison Friends
The story of a micro-society formed by Parisian literature students and dominated by the most brilliant and charismatic of them all.
|
 |
Priceless
Nothing revolutionary or Oscar-worthy here, but the script by writer/director Pierre Salvadori has enough fun with its characters and its setting that you can't help falling under Priceless' charm.
|
 |
Princess
Though the project of treating this dark story of revenge is ambitious, the result, unfortunately, does not go the distance.
|
 |
The Princess of Montpensier
The Princess of Montpensier is more of a good quality television series, but proves to be a complete wreck on the big screen.

 |

A Prophet
While one might have expected another prison movie, A Prophet goes far beyond the limits of this sub-genre.
|
 |
Proof of Life
Taylor Hackford's latest film takes a look at a new field in our post Cold War world: kidnap and rescue. Starring Russell Crowe and Meg Ryan, the film proves to be a smart, well acted, compelling political thriller though the plot is not quite as intricate is it could be.

 |
Punch-drunk Love
Paul Anderson's transparently naïve, yet effective fourth movie, Punch-Drunk Love, is a thoughtful work showing his penchant for film direction.
|
 |
Punto Y Raya
Part buddy movie, part political satire, Punto Y Raya follows the adventures of an unlikely duo, a crook enrolled by force in the Venezuelian army and a honest and naive Columbian serving his country.

 |
Purple Butterfly
Lou Ye, for whom this is the first official production in China after the very notable Suzhou River, delivers a stylized work with a shattering temporal structure, far from a sepia-toned historical reconstitution.
|
 |
Push
A lacklusterly accomplished neo-thriller, quasi-superhero action flick.
|
 |
Pushing Tin
Paul Anderson's fourth movie, Punch-Drunk Love, is a thoughtful work showing his penchant for film direction.
