Smart young Ludovic is the delight of his upwardly-mobile middle-class parents--until he becomes convinced he`s a girl trapped in a boy`s body, that is. His outward expressions of identity, which include wearing dresses and starring in a classroom performance of Snow White, put a strain on the family unit but seem absolutely natural to him. Cutting comedy from first-time director Berliner, who balances commentary on gender roles with an honest sense of childhood whimsy. An international festival smash, and the recipient of the Best Foreign Film Golden Globe.

A big-budget B-movie thrill ride, ANACONDA stars Jon Voight as Sarone, a hardened, crusty river man riding the Amazon who is rescued by a film crew when the propeller on his boat malfunctions. The crew, led by director Terri Flores (Jennifer Lopez), hopes to make a documentary about the Amazon tribe known as The People of the Mist. She is joined by her cinematographer (Ice Cube) and a scientist (Eric Stoltz), among others. Unfortunately for all of them, a monstrous, 40-foot anaconda--which habitually swallows its prey whole--is on the rampage. The snake, which is a marvel of effects technology achieved through a seamless combination of animatronics and computer animation, helped make this one of the box office success stories of 1997.
