Buy rare movies online

I just discovered the website Video INA, it is an archive of French television and radio programs online, from which you can download programs either to rent (48 hours for 2 euros) or buy (6 euros). It has a whole bunch of really rare stuff, including....

Saint-Just et la Force des Choses (Part 1)

Saint-Just et la Force des Choses (Part 2)

La Terreur et la Vertu (Danton)

La Terreur et la Vertu (Robespierre)

The extra benefit of this is that it downloads it as a DivX file, which you can then burn to a dvd, as opposed to buying a French Region 2 DVD that might not work with a US dvd player. The site's a little confusing, but I figured it out.

These movies are, of course, all in French without subtitles.

What I've heard that's negative is mostly about the thesis of the book it's based on, which it naturally follows (that Robespierre and Saint-Just were really rivals). Also about Saint-Just's overly feminized appearance in it--the eyeliner probably has something to do with it. As to his face, I suppose I'll just have to see for myself.
