Jill<br><br>Jill (99) Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Is there anything FRENCH worth seeing at the cinema at the moment or in the next few weeks. We will be in France over Easter and as there may not be much sight seeing open that early in the year and the weather could be foul, it might be useful to have some cinema recommendations. Any ideas please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaligoBay Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Jill, if you have a look at Allociné, you can see what's on in your local cinema:http://www.allocine.fr/I haven't been for a while, must get my act together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill<br><br>Jill (99) Posted March 11, 2005 Author Share Posted March 11, 2005 Thanks - I've saved the link in favourites - it could be useful every time we go to France. In fact, my daughter is in France at present, so I'll check what is on where she is. Chances are that if they go to the cinema it will be an American film that the French girls will want to see! Do French films appeal to teenagers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRT17 Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 we have been 3 times in the last fortnight to the cinema in France. We saw "L'un reste l'autre part", "Boudhu" and "L'ex femme de ma vie". All quite light hearted, nothing intellectual but good for a night at the flicks on a dark March evening. Good practise for our French as well.One local cinema has cheap seats on Mondays and all cinemas in France had a special rate on 20/21/22 March to celebrate the start of Spring.Gill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letrangere Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 all cinemas in France had a special rate on 20/21/22 March to celebrate the start of Spring.Don't you love this? The British think of spring and see pictures of daffodils and longer days and opening all the windows and giving the house a good clean, the French on the otherhand celebrate by going to the cinema.... Chouette! M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Every Wednesday is when the new films are out. Look in your local newspapers or in Allocine on the web. Also www.fnac.com has a page for 'Spectacles' where you can book cinema tickets. I think they have an english page if your French is not too good.The Chorus (Les Choristes) was wonderful! Saw it in London! of all places!... in v.o (Version Originale) of course!!Some municipal libraries have a 'mediatheque' where you can borrow DVDs if the cinema is too far away for you to go. Worth enquiring! for unlimited - almost free/certainly cheaper - pleasure. And you don't feel so embarrassed if it's what I call 'a-romantic-soapy-tissue-box-of-choccies-wrapped-up-in-duvet' film!!Have a nice time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tourangelle Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 I saw 'tout pour plaire' recently, it was funny, and I'd recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxtrot Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Saw a French version of Agatha Christie's "by the pricking of my thumbs" with André Dussolier (the father in Tanguy, super film) and Catherine Frot (she was the brilliant Follecoche in the recent Vipère au Poing). Think it was called "mon petit doigt me l'a dit". Other than that, 36 quai des Orfèvres was the last French film I enjoyed.Katie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRT17 Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 The Chorus (les Choristes) We eventually managed to get to this film yesterday and I thought it was one of the best French films I have seen in ages.IMHO A very moving film, large handkerchief required. It was on locally (U.K.) V.O. with subtitles. I think it is now doing the rounds for the Summer cinema season at various theatres and cinemas in the U.K. I have heard promising reports of "Lemming" from the Cannes film festival, so I think I will try and get to see it in the next week or so.Gill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
