    French Film Club-Fall 2010

    Monday September 13, 2010, 6:30 PM @ International Lounge (THH 309)


    LES CHANSONS D'AMOUR (LOVE SONGS)
    Christophe Honore, 2007
    Ismael (Louis Garrel) and Julie (Ludivine Sagnier) become involved in a three-way relationship when they
    both fall for Alice (Clotilde Hesme), but the complicated emotional entanglements unravel after a tragedy.
    Trying to soothe his pain, Ismael drifts from one meaningless encounter to another, until he meets a young
    man who tries to help him overcome his loss.

    UN PROPHÈTE (A PROPHET)
    Jacques Audiard, 2009
    After refusing to snitch, 18-year-old Arab Malik (Tahar Rahim) is thrown into a French prison, where the
    Corsican mafia rules with a firm fist. The obedient newcomer slowly rises through the organization’s ranks but
    soon begins to double-cross his superiors. A follow-up to his 2005 gem The Beat My Heart Skipped, French
    director Jacques Audiard’s A Prophet was nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

    LA FILLE DU RER (THE GIRL ON THE RER)
    Andrè Tèchinè, 2009
    Inspired by a true story, director André Téchiné’s riveting drama centers on a young Parisian woman (Émilie
    Dequenne) who captures the attention of her country when she claims she’s been the target of a hate crime.
    International film legend Catherine Deneuve also stars in this ripped-from-the-headlines tale, which explores
    the power of prejudice and the diminishing credibility of modern-day media.

    ENTRE LES MURS (THE CLASS)
    Laurent Cantet, 2009
    In an inventive adaptation of his novel about his experiences working in one of the roughest neighborhoods
    in Paris, François Bégaudeau stars as a replica of himself -- a passionate French teacher who presides over
    a classroom of diverse young minds. Not your standard drama or documentary but something in between,
    this Oscar-nominated film used three cameras during a largely improvisational shoot and features real
    students rather than actors.

    *Pizza Served*
    The French Film Club offers an opportunity for students to discover a selection of French movies and to explore French culture and language.
    Movies are shown in French with English subtitles free of charge and all students enrolled in French language courses are welcome.
