i'm french. minimally french speaking, but it comes from both sides of the family so i'll claim it. i love french things like baguettes, serge gainsbourg, victor hugo, le petit prince, french wines, french boys... etc. but today i discovered a new reason to love france, and that reason is 'jeux d'enfants'.
who doesn't like french cinema? amelie, la haine, paris je t'aime, un long dimanche de fiançailles and happenstance are some of my favourites, so when i heard about this movie i had to download it.
it's an adorable story directed by yann samuell about a boy (julien) and a girl (sophie), played by guillaume canet (add him to my ever-growing list of future husbands) and marion cotillard (the recent oscar winning actress from la mome). saying anything else is giving too much away, but basically it's one of the best movies i've seen in a very long time. like most french movies, the plot is slower moving and the movie itself takes on a sort of whimsical theme (think amelie), but the result is amazing. so really, go download it. or rent it. just find a way to see this movie.
on the subject of french things, what's with the HUGE amount of extremely attractive french actors? take guillaume canet, gaspard ulliel, frederic gorny, louis garrel, benoit magimel, olivier martinez, romain duris, i could keep going.
i think after australia my first vacation will be to france. for an extended stay.
