Patrice Leconte Collection: Hairdresser's Husband, Yvonne's Perfume, Girl On The Bridge , Half a Chance (DVD)

Patrice Leconte is one of the most acclaimed and successful filmmakers of his generation, and this four-film collection brings together some of his most memorable work. The Hairdresser’s Husband (1990) is a newly restored masterpiece that pairs the brilliant Jean Rochefort (Man on the Train) and the incandescent Anna Galiena (Jamón Jamón) in a wildly erotic ode to wedded bliss. Yvonne’s Perfume (1994) is a mysterious and romantic drama of desire set at an exclusive lakeside resort wedged between France and Switzerland. Half a Chance (1998) is a star-studded action comedy in which legends Jean-Paul Belmondo (Breathless) and Alain Delon (Le Samouraï) get roped into saving Vanessa Paradis from the mob, as either one could be her real father! And finally there is the swooningly beautiful Girl on the Bridge (1999), which follows the whirlwind courtship of a carnival knife-thrower (Daniel Auteuil, Caché) and lonesome wanderer Adele (Vanessa Paradis). Together they are some of the most entertaining French films of the 1990s.
