Mini Commercial French Movie Wave

It all began in my schooling years, when I decided to put off doing tax accounting homework at IU library, take one of the many short breaks, and watch (suddenly important and imperative to watch immediately) movies instead. Unfortunately or fortunately, the library only carried the more artsy shows. So I ended up watching French movies like La Reine Margot. One can say that my love for French movies was built on strong homework procrastination tendencies.

I intensely like French movies, they are a little off-center, and the French actors, all stylo and yummy chic, even when the hair is messy. Very aesthetically je ne sais quoi”-ly pleasing.

We caught Moliere today, a period drama, or as a friend puts it, movie with people wearing long pom pom skirts.

The bittersweet movie started slow, but the few sub-plots worked well together amidst bits of romance and comedy. We watched it at the newly renovated Picturehouse, which is really small, but clean with no odour.

Audrey Tautou - This gamine’s cornering the “French Movies That Made It Overseas and People Are Actually Catching Them” market. She’s in Amelie, Priceless, and also in Hunting & Gathering, which we’re going to catch on Wednesday.

Below: Audrey Tautou in Priceless, a great movie. Even if the dvd subtitles don’t work, you should still catch the movie to check out Tautou’s great clothes.
