Laugh, cry, or cringe: this weeks's top DVDs cover our basest emotional responses to film. Daniel Auteuil's hilarious antics in "Apres Vous" are sure to please. Four motherless in children in "Nobody Knows" may provoke tears, and diva Isabelle Huppert is at her eerily seductive best in the incest drama "Ma Mere."

1. Nobody Knows

Hirokazu Koreeda's heartbreakingly sad film already has a spot on our list of best films of 2005 so far. Four children are abandoned by their mother and continue to live together in their small Toyko apartment. Twelve year old Ayu Kitaura won the Best Actor award at Cannes.More »

2. Apres Vous

In this charming comedy, Daniel Auteuil stars as Antoine, a headwaiter at a popular Paris restaurant whose life falls apart after he does a good deed.

3. Cronicas

There are shades of "Capote" in this thriller by Sebastián Cordero. John Leguizamo plays an ambitious TV reporter who is on the trail of a serial child killer in Ecuador. Unflinching, "Cronicas" stays involving right up to the horrifying finale.More »

4. Pickpocket

Robert Bresson?s masterful investigation of crime and redemption tells the story of the young, arrogant Michel (Martin LaSalle), who spends his days learning the art of picking pockets in the streets, subway cars, and train stations of Paris. Special features include commentary by film scholar James Quandt, a video introduction by writer/director Paul Schrader, the 2003 documentary The Models of Pickpocket featuring the actors from the film, a 1960 interview with Bresson.More »

5. Ma Mere (Unrated DVD)

The marvelous Isabelle Huppert (already so creepy and wonderful in "The Piano Teacher") stars in Christophe Honore's adaptation of Georges Bataille's novel about a mother who takes it upon herself to introduce her son (Louis Garrel) into the mysteries of sex. This film is not for the faint of heart. The DVD releases offers an alternate ending and a deleted scene, and an interview with the director.More »
