Has anyone had this problem ?I have been watching TNT happily since cable came in with a digibox or decodeur as they say - when we changed over on the 18th my TV screen is now pretty shades of various colours - all the people have blue faces and it is breaking up.I've contacted my insurance co.to see if I can claim.I hear from people in UK similar things happened there. Wot a pig - I thought I would be OK.

Hi again - busy week - I watched the clip of Uranus you sent also another couple - sounds like a film worth watching - thanks. I am also a fan of Daniel Auteuil - great in the Pagnol films of course but have you seen La fille sur le pont - a bit of an 'art' type film about a girl who tries to commit suicide by -guess- jumping off a bridge - he is a knife thrower and they sort of get together.TV has busted following the change over so not seen anything on there since.

Yes I did read some of the critiques of La Môme, thanks for the link, and watched the interview with Michel Drucker on TV - she is quite a tall lassie isn't she ? she explained how she 'got inside' the role. Did you see ?The Au revoir film was the one I saw advertised - pity I missed it.They've recently brought out a film about the raid on Jews in Paris in 1942 -'Le Rafle' - which a friend of mine saw and said there wasn't a dry eye in the house - and how he had felt so ashamed - as it was the French Police who did this - the man in charge never paid the price for his crimes.It was one reason I did watch the film on TV I mentioned Le Vieux fusil with Philippe Noiret - he got a Caesar for it. More war.But they had another of his (what a good actor) on a few weeks ago. Don't know if you saw that, called 'Le Juge et l'Assassin' based on a true history about a Jack the Ripper character who was roaming across France at about the same time - killing shepherdesses mainly. Noiret was the judge - but the assassin chap was played really well - it always makes you wonder when people get inside a role so well if there isn't just a bit of them in there.I'm going to have to note down some of these films and see if I can get them on Amazon.fr.Look forward to reading some more write ups.

I would keep trying for a French person T's dog - I've done this in the past - even a pal would be better than a Brit - I agree with Norman. I wouldn't even consider translating poetry - it's just not the same, but perhaps you have the magic touch ! Bonne chance

Thanks will have a look

Ah well this is the thread - I haven't seen all of the films mentioned something to look out for- we are lucky to have a local cinema which helps a bit. Otherwise it's usually Arte or other channels on TV. Who saw La Môme ? There was a lot of criticism about it saying it dwelt on the negative aspects of Piaf's life but I actually enjoyed it: I thought Marion Cotillard was superb ! Have you already discussed this ? I've come in a bit late probably.Moonraker;was the film about the children taken by the Gestapo ?I missed it - was it good ?

Thanks 5-element -and hello Normie

Wouldn't your best option be to find a French person to help ? If you can translate roughly they can add the flavour

Don't know Normie -yet - but doubtless will, I thought it might be nice to share info.I watched Le vieux fusil the other night - good stuff but depressing. Really enjoy some French cinema.I see you've written a book on the Vendee wars Wooly - pleased to hear it - me also v.interested in same. Wrote an article about them, then got hooked into finding out more. Every day I walk the dog on a site where a battle took place -also know a descendant of Jacques Cathelineau - living history isn't it ? Will check out your blog.

I'm looking for a thread on good French films is there one?

I see that Paru Vendu put their stuff on the internet but it costs a bit to advertise with them. You can also get an idea of the van's value with a link. How did you work that out ?You can get your ad in for a fixed price and they keep it on until it's sold so it might work out a better bet. Did you see that ? Am going to ring or go and see one of the depot ventes this week to find out the deals.Have never sold a vehicle before - a bit of a girly there so will be interested to find out the best way.

How did you get on selling your camper ? I am wanting to do same

Do be careful that your motor home is 'importable'.A friend of mine did what you're thinking of and bought a LH drive VW in UK then when she came to import it found she couldn't without going through some very complex and expensive procedures - don't ask me what! but eventually she sold it in UK very cheaply.
