I laughed! A few tears fell! And I so wanted to dance!

THE LITTLE THIEF - Claude Miller (1988) - ★★★
---
Unforgettable Charlotte as an unpredictable Truffaut-esque heroine. Her kleptomania is a sign of her desire for freedom.#film #cinema #microcritique #LaPetiteVoleuse #CharlotteGainsbourg #frenchfilm #frenchmovie #filmphotography #ClaudeMiller

INTO YOUR HANDS - Lola Doillon - 2024 - ★★★⭑
---
A beautiful ambiguity throughout the film, two outstanding performances by actors playing an executioner and a victim, a pulse of hatred transformed into a desire for bodies and flesh. Credibly plausible...#frenchmovie #film #movies #filmphotography #cinema #LolaDoillon

Indomptables released in 2025 set in Cameroon
pigs can drink beer while they're at the police station
There's a scene where a Black Man and a token Chinese man from opposing stalls seemingly selling different goods argue as equals.

Hunting Daze set in Quebec released in 2024
A Black Man is depicted positively and negatively. I didn't feel it was being anti-Black racist overall.
I felt that at some point that it spoke powerfully for the positive impact of multiculturalism on whites if they're open to it.
Therre were other aspects too like moments with a deer and later a wolf.

HOTEL AMERICA - André Téchiné (1981) - ★
---
Téchiné makes Téchiné without passion, at the level of a photo novel. Apart from a few interesting staging effects and curious ellipses, this kind of cinema is off-putting, and despite the best efforts of the two main actors, nothing can prevent it from sinking. -
LOVE IS MY PROFESSION - Claude Autant-Lara (1958) ★★★
---
A film that chatters away and thrills thanks to the presence of its actors, even if Brigitte Bardot remains rather bland and unconvincing as a manipulative bitch. Classic staging, very static and situational, with an irritating soundtrack.#movie #film #movies #filmphotography #frenchmovie #jeangabin #brigittebardot

How do you say feel-good movie in French?

A GORGEOUS GIRL LIKE ME - François Truffaut (1972) ★★
---
A comedy with a play on temporality, sometimes grotesque, sometimes with naive situations. Some scenes are reminiscent of slapstick in many ways (acting, interior shots). Not a great movie, but Bernadette Laffont is impressive. A pleasure to see André Dussollier as a young actor. Great casting. -
L'ODEUR DE LA MANDARINE - Gilles Legrand (2015) - ★⭑
---
Nice acting. But the whole thing seems quite extinguished, without strength or juice, in a fine, realistic but very sad light. -
THE LIGHT - Philippe Lioret (2004) - ★★★
---
A movie that vibrates with the performance of its actors and its touching story. Beautiful images of the Mare lighthouse (in Brittany) at the center of the storm. -
THE SNOWS OF KILIMANJARO - Robert Guédiguian (2011) - ★★★★
---
This drama is a celebration of beautiful, aptly expressed humanity, summoning emotions that swell the heart. The actors are magnificent. Robert Guédiguian's best, along with “Marius & Jeannette”. -
NO LOVE LOST- - Erwan Le Duc (2023) ★
---
Offbeat and occasionally hollow to the point of cinephilic squinting, this film left me unsure of its intended direction. Boring. -
FORBIDDEN GAMES - René Clément (1953) ★★★★
---
A poignant masterpiece that sensitively explores war through the eyes of children. Powerful performances by Brigitte Fossey and Georges Poujouly make this drama moving and enduring, capturing the fragility of childhood in the face of horror. -
CUSTODY - Xavier Legrand (2018) ★★★★
---
Impressively tense, this cinematic gem shines with memorably powerful performances by Léa Drucker and Denis Ménochet. Unforgettable. -

Just Jaeckin’s The Last Romantic Lover (1978) may be his best film. A circus performer enters a contest to find the country's most romantic man. A strange, magical, entrancing, insanely romantic film with hints of screwball comedy.

Borsalino (1970), a gorgeous-looking hugely entertaining French gangster film set in the 30s with Alain Delon and Jean-Paul Belmondo oozing charisma and sexiness and coolness. Don’t overthink this movie. Just wallow in the style.

Henri-Georges Clouzot's Quai des Orfèvres (1947) is a police procedural, a murder mystery, a showbiz movie (with plenty of seediness and sleaze) and has a slight film noir vibe. A singer will do whatever it takes to reach the top. Good stuff.

Une Parisienne (1957), an early and incredibly charming Brigitte Bardot romantic comedy. She plays a girl who is really very sweet but a bit naughty in an innocent kind of way. A frothy lightweight romantic sex comedy with Bardot at her most adorable.

You might expect Claude Chabrol’s Blue Panther to be a lighthearted 1965 eurospy romp but it isn't. Chabrol is trying to deconstruct the genre and play other similar games. If that appeals to you you'll love the film. If not, you'll be bored.

La Ronde (AKA Circle of Love, 1964), a series of sexual encounters. Each character figures in two consecutive encounters with different people. Structurally clever, light and amusing. Jane Fonda's best movies were all made with Roger Vadim.

Next Monday I'm going to see #Marinette at the cinema in Strasbourg, but I understand very little French.
Luckily, I discovered that it's being shown with subtitles in Switzerland, so I'll go there first on Saturday.
The #Deutschlandticket (flat rate for local transport) is a nice invention 🙂 -
Jean-Luc Godard's Alphaville (1965), a weird disorienting dystopian sci-fi secret agent hardboiled pulp arthouse B-movie homage. The plot makes no sense but it's a strangely enjoyable oddball little movie quite unlike any other.

Roger Vadim's Love on a Pillow (1962) is a psycho-sexual melodrama starring Brigitte Bardot. It deals with freedom versus responsibility, free love versus marriage.
This is Bardot in a more serious complex role (moving away from her early romantic comedies) and she's superb. Great movie.

Marcel Carné's Hôtel du Nord (1938), a perfect example of 1930s French film noir (or poetic realism). A young couple decide to spend their last night on Earth in a cheap hotel in Paris.
A superb movie that works on both an intellectual and emotional level.
