"A Late Style..." only if you're into literary bios and/or poetry. Then it's above average. "Iron Fists" is a SUPERB doco about the influence of Hong Kong martial-arts movies on the rest of the world. They cover everything and speak to everyone. "Exorcism" is so-so, being ultimately locked into the formula of the horror flicks it semi-spoofs. "Perfumes" is a sweet (geddit?), typically unusual French drama about a former star perfumier thrown together with a limo driver also struggling in life. Second Frenchie for this week, "Un Triomphe" is the true tale of an actor-turned-teacher attempting to put on a professional production of "Waiting For Godot" using prison inmates. Where that journey takes them all is truly astounding. Murder mystery "The Cat..." (1978), while ridiculous on more than one level, is still superior to modern equivalents like "Knives Out".
