imdb says that if I like Hotel America and I Don't Kiss, I'll also like Titantic, Spider Man 2, and The Basketball Diaries.
Seeing as I love those films, I'll spring for this set immediately.
(I've never actually seen any Techine movies, and I know those rec's are 96% bullshit. Also those drool smilies look like faces with neon goatees.)

For $25 it might sell. I was looking at his oeuvre on imdb and it really confirmed how middlebrow it is, but spiced up a little bit with gay and arab characters. He's one of the few French directors whose work still consistently gets a US commercial release--not necessarily an indicator of superior quality. The boxset is some of his better work. Another approach would be to box his Deneuve films.

Beaver review. Looks like the Hotel Des Ameriques transfer is the same as the one on the Deneuve boxset.
