Something the French do really well

I am sure many on Forum watch French films and enjoy them.  Revoir Paris is one we saw a couple of weeks ago.  Non of the flash/violent stuff of Hollywood, just solid drama (imo).

Another one we saw this weekend was Le Théorème de Marguerite.  A Higher Maths film, not the subject you would think would make an enjoyable watch, but it was. 

Different to " A Beautiful Mind" and "The Man who knew Infinity"

I don't know if it still accessible, but on the older version of the Forum I started a thread on French films.

It is also worth checking out Arte https://www.arte.tv/en/videos/cinema/

I strongly recommend the The Films of Robert Guédiguian about Marseille. He is a sort of more 'poetic' (in the cinematic sense) version of Ken Loach. This is one of my favorites shown free onlie at the moment on ARTE...https://www.arte.tv/en/videos/031761-000-A/the-town-is-quiet/ Obviously title is ironic, but there is always a love for the ordinary people of the town and a sense of Marseille as a melting pot of cultures
