 Monsieur Zenith - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Monsieur Zenith the Albino is an ambiguous villain created by writer Anthony Skene for his Sexton Blake series of detective pulp fiction.
The influence of Sherlock Holmes is evident, as Monsieur Zenith is himself a master of disguise and accomplished violinist, and there is a dash of Fantômas in him as well.
Although relatively obscure by now, Monsieur Zenith was an important influence in the creation of one of the best-known characters in fantasy literature, Elric of Melniboné.

 Monsieur Hire
Monsieur Hire is a detective story that utterly transcends the genre.
The elements of the detective story are all there: a crime (the murder of a 22 year old girl), a cop (unlikable, meanly intrusive), a suspect (Monsieur Hire - a tailor, a loner disliked by his neighbors), a beautiful girl, evidence, clues, red herrings.
Monsieur Hire (Michel Blanc), we discover, is a voyeur, watching a neighbor, Alice (Sandrine Bonnaire), from his window, while he plays Brahms on his phonograph.

 Monsieur Ibrahim (2003): Reviews
Monsieur Ibrahim is about people interacting as people, not symbols (one reason, Sharif has said, he took the role was to help his grandchildren's generation understand that idea).
The titular role of Monsieur Ibrahim is not a terribly taxing one, but Sharif effortlessly demonstrates that he still has the stuff that made him a star so many years ago – he exudes a charismatic appeal that is apparently timeless.
Among the lessons that Monsieur Ibrahim conveys to Moses, and the most appealing aspect of the film, is to delight in sensual pleasure.

 The DVD Journal | Reviews : Monsieur Verdoux: The Chaplin Collection
If Monsieur Verdoux is famous for anything, it's for the critical and commercial hostility it received in the United States.
Monsieur Verdoux is no exception, with its fuzzy internal time, ungraceful contrivances, and characters, including his family, whose fates remain ambiguous — all glitches that could have been fixed in one weekend during the three years Chaplin worked on the screenplay.
While Monsieur Verdoux is not as painfully tendentious as A King in New York, already the great old comedian had forgotten that to move an audience it's all in the delivery.

 :: rogerebert.com :: Monsieur Hire   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Monsieur Hire's life is organized with the extreme precision of a man who fears that any deviation from routine could destroy him.
The story of Monsieur Hire was first told in a novel by Georges Simenon, that endlessly observant Belgian who wrote more than 300 books, many of them works of genius.
Monsieur Hire, so middle-aged and nondescript, certainly is not her "type." But is his adoration appealing to her?

 Olivier Chapuis - Monsieur Farce - direction Jean Boillot
Monsieur Farce, a depressive clown, spends his life dying in unusual situations.
Thus was born Monsieur Farce, a distant relative of the brute creatures of Dubuffet, thus this character was born, a blend of self-conceit and naivety, funny through his weaknesses and cruelty, and who only knows, fundamentally, how to repeat his own death …
Already in his first play, Monsieur Farce, the style is very sure, full of short-circuits and unexpected situations.

Monsieur Ibrahim” was a Golden Globe nominee for Best Foreign Language Film, the consensus audience favorite at the 2003 Venice Film Festival, and one of the top five foreign films honored by the National Board of Review.
At a time when the newspapers are full of Holy War talk, it’s of course hopeful to feature a Muslim and Jew coming together as father and adopted son (or vice versa)—though Jews may find it less than ideal that the religious exchange is one-way.
Monsieur Ibrahim shares his Koran with the boy, but the Torah is nowhere to be found.

 Monsieur N. - Review
This is very much the view of history adopted by 'Monsieur N.', which begins precisely with the opening of Napoleon Bonaparte's coffin one rainswept night on the remote island of St Helena in 1840.
The once great emperor had been kept in exile there by the English from 1815, and was buried there after his lonely death in 1821, only to be disinterred decades later and brought to Paris for an entombment more in keeping with his majesty, beneath the golden dome of Les Invalides.
'Monsieur N.' is also concerned with the process of myth-making and image-management, and, as its title suggests, plays upon the notion of the ordinary man hiding within the extraordinary general and emperor.

Monsieur Ibrahim and the Flowers of the Koran/Oscar and the Lady in Pink: &, Oscar and the Lady in Pink : Two Novellas
In terms of its storyline, "Monsieur Ibrahim" offers little that is new here (the idea of an older mentor figure raising an orphan child of a different religion goes at least as far back as "The Two of Us" in 1968 and probably much further).
Monsieur Ibrahim is a touching film which tells the tale of Moses, played by Pierra Boulanger, a 14 year old Jewish boy living in Paris during the 1960'.

 monsieuribrahim
François Depeyron's ("The Officer's Ward") Monsieur Ibrahim is a feel-good, sentimental, manipulative, coming of age, buddy film, set in 1963, that is all too familiar and hardly challenging.
The philosophical Monsieur Ibrahim overlooks the boy's shoplifting and engages the boy in a meaningful conversation offering him his wisdom (I'm not sure it's all kosher, since he counsels the kid he can save money by serving his father cat food as pate--which doesn't sound like spiritual advice to me!).
The boy takes a Sunday walk around Paris with his only friend, lets the generous man buy him a needed pair of shoes, fantasizes he's in love with a neighborhood red-headed girl (Lola Naymark), and listens to Ibrahim's advice that he should learn how to smile more--told that the smile itself is reward enough.

 Monsieur Hire blends tension, eroticism, and the bizarre   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
By ELIZABETH L. is a French murder mystery which blends tension with eroticism and a touch of the bizarre in a dreamy melodic style.
The strong points of this movie are the development of the character Monsieur Hire and the strangeness of the situation that he is caught up in.
The audience's feelings towards Hire and Alice are artfully manipulated as the film progresses, the unveiling of their characters paralleling the unveiling of the murderer.

Het beeld van Monsieur Cannibale is een ontwerp van Henny Knoet (die vlakbij Monsieur Cannibale ook de Kinderavonturendoolhof en de Kleuterhof ontwierp) en op de achtergrond speelt voortdurend de aanstekelijke Franse monsterhit van Sacha Distel uit de sixties waaraan dit wereldwonder zijn naam heeft ontleend.
Samen met de opening van Monsieur Cannibale werd door de burgemeester van Loon op Zand ook het vernieuwde Café-restaurant aan de Siervijver geopend, dat naar aanleiding van de opening van Monsieur Cannibale een jaar lang helemaal gedecoreerd was in Afrikaanse stijl.

Monsieur Parent, accidentally looking up at the church clock, saw that he was five minutes late.
Monsieur Parent pretended not to hear, but went into his own room, and as soon as he got in, locked the door, so as to be alone, quite alone.
"Monsieur," she said, "I served your mother until the day of her death, and I have attended to you from your birth until now, and I think it may be said that I am devoted to the family." She waited for a reply, and Parent stammered:

 DVD Verdict Review - Monsieur Verdoux
Even if, for Monsieur Verdoux, the natural end of such a venture is a date with Madame Guillotine.
Monsieur Verdoux considers himself a desperate man in desperate times.
Based on an idea handed to Chaplin by Orson Welles, who in turn was inspired by the real case of French serial killer Henri Landru, who played Bluebeard to nearly a dozen women, Verdoux is one of the darkest satires to come out of Hollywood, from one of its most notoriously sentimental directors.

 [No title]
The other morning, after a night of torment from the toothache, I met Monsieur du Miroir with such a swollen anguish in his cheek that my own pangs were redoubled, as were also his, if I might judge by a fresh contortion of his visage.
From these veritable statements it will be readily concluded that, had Monsieur du Miroir played such pranks in old witch times, matters might have gone hard with him; at least if the constable and posse comitatus could have executed a warrant, or the jailer had been cunning enough to keep him.
Speechless as he was, Monsieur du Miroir had then a most agreeable way of calling me a handsome fellow; and I, of course, returned the compliment; so that, the more we kept each other's company, the greater coxcombs we mutually grew.

Monsieur had followed his wife closely, bearing her fan and bouquet and wrap, and had silently seated himself a little behind her and in the shadow.
When Monsieur was sufficiently strong to travel, and was advised to do so, there were grave doubts as to the propriety of his wife's accompanying him.
