I must admit to being lacking in the area of French cinema (probably because I kept trying to enter that door through New Wave and that just doesn't work for me).

That said I love Chloe in the Afternoon and fortunately for all of you who haven't seen it, it has been remade as a Chris Rock movie coming out later this year.

Krzysztof Kieslowsk's Trois Couleurs (Blue, Red, White). Although Kieslowsk is Polish, the films are French.

En Couer en Hiver, La Femme Nikita, Hiroshima mon amour, City of Lost Children, Delicatessen, Amélie (yeah, yeah, I dig Jean-Pierre Jeunet), Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast.

I really love a quiet film he did called Besieged starring David Thewlis and Thandie Newton.

Oh yeah, Chocolat was french. I liked Chocolat.

Hehehe, so far I've seen Chocolat and Amelie.




Considering French is the only foreign language I sort of speak, that's rather pathetic.
