Anyway, I just finished watching this film - La Faute à Fidel (Blame It On Fidel) - featuring an enchanting performance by Nina Kervel, who plays young Anna. In this movie, you can see how little Anna's Spanish-born lawyer father and French journalist-turned-writer mother decide to say goodbye to their bourgeois life and work in the name of human rights. The little boy who plays Anna's brother is adorable, too. Has anyone seen this one?
P.S. I also caught a movie called "Before Sunset" playing on cable, which is a film that one of you recommended I should see, and I taped it on my DVD - that's next in the line-up of French films to watch. : )
Until Paris ...

Thanks, Elaine, for the reminder to see Coco Avant Chanel. I plan to get that next. So many French films to see ... thank goodness I have over four months until Paris!
I found 'fidel' on Netflix and it's FREEEE
The Closet is a good one for learning Fr and very silly.
I LOVE Before Sunset and the other, After Sunrise or some such title-same actors and Paris

Hi,
Try watching Bleu with Juliette Binoche. I wrote about on my blog Monday. :)
I second A 2 Z's motion on Bleu -- a very stylish movie. The thriller La Femme Nikita -- if you can handle the whole violent concept of a junkie becoming a government trained killer-- is also quite stylish. It's way better than the American remake, Point of No Return. And of course there's always A Man and A Woman -- I covet Anouk Aimee's hair and wardrobe in this movie. Actually, I covet everything she wears in every movie. She is my style icon!
Ridicule is a good 18th century period piece set at the court of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. Fanny Ardant is deliciously wicked -- and gorgeous. I love that the French celebrate the beauty and sex appeal of the older woman.
