aught I louse alaui Young Dr. Freud The Tate Axel Corti first directed "Young Dr. Freud," starring Karlheinz Hackl, for television in 1976. (Kino, 5/17) Exploitips: Most ofCorti's work was done for television. This re-release could be a good opportunity to program a retrospective of the rest of his work. 8 1/2 Women MAY 26 Writer-director Peter Greenaway's ("The Pillow Book") ode to Federico Fellini's "8 1/2," this comedy stars John Standing ("Mrs. Dalloway") as a wealthy Genevan businessman whose son introduces him to the women of Fellini's film when his wife dies. Then the two get the idea to turn their home into an elaborate brothel. Matthew Delamere, Vivian Wu ("The Pillow Book"), Toni Collette ("The Sixth Sense"), Amanda Plummer ("Pulp Fiction") and Polly Walker ("Emma") co-star. Kees Kasander ("The Pillow Book") produces. (Lions Gate, 5/26 ltd) Exploitips: BOXOFFICE reviewed "8 1/2 Women" at Cannes, giving it two stars in the September 1999 issue: "'Creenaway has called his film a 'modest homage to Fellini,' but all of the obvious references only emphasize how far superior Fellini's classic is to this disappointing effort. ...The only impressive thing about this film is that Creenaway could get actresses with significant credits like Plummer, Collette and Walker to play such trite versions of male sexual fantasies." Passion of Mind Demi Moore ("G.I. Jane") stars in this romantic psychological thriller as an American widow and mother of two living in France who fantasizes about being a single New York book editor. Or is it the other way around? Stellan Skarsgard ("Deep Blue Sea") and William Fichtner ("Drowning Mona") co-star, both as her lovers. Alain Berliner ("Ma Vie en Rose") directs; Ron Bass ("Snow Falling on Cedars") scripts and produces. (Paramount Classics, 5/26) Exploitips: Paramount Classics announced this co-venture with Lakeshore Entertainment just three months after the specialty arm's launch. Coordinate with a local radio station, inviting listeners to call in their favorite fantasies or, if they're bold enough, stories about their double lives. The best tale wins tickets to opening weekend or, depending on your budget, a trip to France. Kikujiro Takeshi Kitano ("Fireworks") writes, directs and stars in (as Beat Takeshi, his acting alias) this drama as his trademark tough guy who befriends a sensitive young boy as the two roam the lapanese countryside looking for the mother the boy never knew.

(Sony Classics, 5/26 NY/LA) Exploitips: BOXOFFICE gave this pic 3.5 stars in its Cannes coverage in the September 1999 issue, saying, "Kitano skillfull) creates a distinctive character in the cynical and manipulative Kikujiro. Kitano works well opposite the natural performance of young Sekiguchi in his film debut. ...There are imaginative touches throughout the film." Mission: Impossible 2 Tom Cruise ("Magnolia") produces and stars in this sequel to the actioner that opened exactly four years ago and went on to gross $180 million. This time around, he and his team must seize and destroy a deadly German virus before it falls into the wrong hands. Dougray Scott ("Ever After"), Thandie Newton ("Beloved") and Ving Rhames ("Entrapment") co-star. John Woo ("Face/Off") directs a script by Robert Towne ("Mission: Impossible"). Cruise's partner Paula Wagner ("Mission: Impossible") also produces. (Paramount, 5/24) Exploitips: A production of this magnitude saw its share of delays, beginning shi loting a month late due to -.< ript t hanges and losing a cinematographer along the way, and its release date was ultimately shoved back from Christmas to Memorial Day. But "M:l-2" is bound to succeed, with Cruise returning in the lead role and Woo, who's Face/Off" also earned over $100 million at the boxoffice. Coordinate with a local radio station to give listeners who can trivia questions about the original '60s TV story tickets to opening weekend.

Keith Melton, who's previous experience has been with 3-D simulator rides, directs; "Max Headroom" creators Peter Wagg and Steve Roberts script; Wagg also produces. (Sony Classics, May undated) Exploitips: The Cirque du Soleil regularly performs in Las Vegas but also has troupes that travel around the world.
