cybrspacy Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I'm sorry to say I can't help you with your question about the French film shown on TCM recently. I do, however, have another recommendation for you. My favorite French film has always been Beauty and the Beast, directed be Jean Cocteau. It is mystical, magical, and amazing to watch, especially considering the circumstances under which it was shot; WW2 was raging all around, they had to beg, borrow, or steal the rolls of film and other supplies, and on and on. All of this is really irrelevant though. See it for the classic that it is and let me know how you like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saunderssmith Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I searched through my old TCM guides and I believe the film is Les Carabiniers from 1963. The description in the guide says "Two soldiers from an unnamed country are caught up in an absurd war" Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhryun Posted September 6, 2005 Author Share Posted September 6, 2005 The Grand Illusion, Belle de Jour, The 400 Blows, Bay of Angels, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg and La Vie de Chateau are some older French films I enjoy. For more recent French films, I would highly recommend Amelie, Red, A Very Long Engagement and Bon Voyage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harlow1085 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Catherine Deneuve is my favorite French actress, and she was amazing in "Belle de Jour." I highly recommend that movie! A few years ago she did a film called "8 Women" and it's very funny and amusing. It's a musical, in French, but I loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
