French films

What do you think of French films?

I saw Pauline by the Beach. It was the best. Lots of conversations. Realistic and dealt with serious matters but felt light and airy.

the only french movie i've seen was wasabi.
"Quite Possibly The Greatest French-Language, English-Subtitled, Japanese Action-Comedy Of All Time"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0281364/
interestingly enough, ryoko hirosue had to learn all her lines phonetically, because she doesn't speak french.

In my teens I went on a french film binge. Saw a ton of movies. I only remember a handful of them now though, but I think cyrano de bergerac was pretty good. The ones I remember : Jean de Fleurette, Manon(sequal), camille claudel(loved this one because I was big fan of Rodin) and delicatessen.

Oh yeah, check out 'With a Friend like Harry...". It's such a screwed up film. The ending is weird. But cool.

has anyone seen "love me if you dare"? "la vie en rose"?
there's just something about french movies, some je ne sais quoi... if i butchered that, please correct me. :tongue:

Love 'em. The language is so sexy on the ear, and they're so interesting visually. Try watching the Trois Couleurs trilogy (OK, Polish director) back to back for some serious mood swings. And try and spot all the cross-references! (Blanc is my personal favourite)

L'Homme du Train is more subtle, but also has a mood theme (regret) I adore Jean Rochefort.

There are two French cinemas in London, so I get to see a lot of these on the big screen too...

I saw L'homme du train at the theatre-kinda like barbarians at the gate in philosophy. But I thought barbarians got the message off a bit better.

French films are pretty good. They seem to deal with more adult themes rather then pandering to family oriented, brainless crap like American films do.

Irreversible was brilliant.

:eek: i adore older french comedies!

pierre richard and his french original of "the toy", which totally owns the american version. and louis de funes and his gendarme series. so funny :)

That movie was a total shockfest. I think it was generally plotless and relied on a lot of heavy emotional imagery.

Perhaps, a shameless plug, but for all you French film fanatics...
A good friend of mine will soon be directing a feature film, and it will be a French film shot in Paris. And in relation to the forum itself, my friend is Korean. You can check out his website at http://www.hejproductions.com.
Keep an oeil out.
