Re: Top 5 French Films
Obviously, I haven't seen many French films. I'll have to add some to my watchlist.
|
Rather than an all time top 5, I'll just list the 5 best french films I"ve seen (for the first time!) this year.
5) Le vieil homme et l'enfant - The Two of Us (1967) - Berri A young Jewish boy is sent to live with an elderly couple in the countryside. He's being hidden from the Nazis during the occupation. He tries to fathom what a Jew is from jumbled rants of the mildly anti-semitic but loving old man. 4) My Night at Maud's (1969) - Rohmer A talky intellectual film about love and faith. I liked this because, the characters revealed themselves through what they said, instead of their actions and deeds. 3) L"Art d'aimer - The Art of Love (2011) - Mouret Mouret takes the premise from his last film "Please, please me" where a man must absolutely have an affair and applies this comically to four couples. Typical, dead pan humor. Mouret seems to mature as a filmmaker with each successive film, so his latest offering always seems his best. 2) The Names of love (2011) - Leclerc A nice comedic mediation on how national identity forms society and deforms the individual. 1) Pourquoi tu pleures? - Bachelor Days are over (2011) - Lewkowski A twenty something man gets cold feet a couple days before his marriage. Great casting, most of the characters literally come alive seconds after their first screen appearance. Plus the French family unit contrasts wonderfully with her close-knit ethnic family. |
I can't narrow it down to 5 right now, but my favourites off the top of my head are:

Re: Top 5 French Films
No need to be d*cks and reply sarcastically to everything, people like different things, and if they prefer to watch films they find more entertaining than films that are regarded important/classics, I don't see nothing wrong with it, I'd rather they be honest and list the films they thought were better/enjoy more than what they are 'supposed to'.

Re: Top 5 French Films
The Passion of Joan of Arc was slow?

Re: Top 5 French Films
His post, I believe, was sarcasm/satire.
