Hello all! I have decided to let you know my three favorite French films. I don't really know why, but I watch a LOT of foreign movies. I could list all the countries but it would be a long, boring list. I have studied the French language for more than 4 years so I have a special soft spot for French language films. There are three that stand out in my memory and I want to recommend them to the world!
First is "Le Papillion" (The Butterfly)
I absolutely adore this movie! It is the story of a slightly grumpy man who, against his wishes, ends up trekking through the French countryside in search of a rare butterfly! Throughout the story you get so very attached to both the characters. Through the ups and downs of their adventure you see them grow attached to one another. Think Disney-Pixar's "Up". It's a similar dynamic. All in all it is a beautiful, heartfelt movie that I would recommend!
Second is "Heartbreaker".
"Heartbreaker" is a rom-com about a man who is paid to break up relationships. This movie made me laugh out loud, which doesn't happen all that often. This is a unique, creative movie with plenty of clever dialog. Seriously, watch this movie. Yes, the spoken language is french, which can turn some people off to a movie, but it is so worth it! Immediately after I watched this I was recommending it to everyone I came in contact with. It's just that funny.
Thirdly, I have "Romantics Anonymous".
"Romantics Anonymous" is a sweet offbeat comedy that just made me giggle. The two main characters are extremely shy to a fault. The woman is a master Chocolatier and the man owns a chocolate shop. Now how do the two find their way to each other? That is the story. There isn't the normal, ridiculously attractive, overly charismatic cast that we, as an audience, are used to. No, we have two, uncomfortable, shy, quirky, people who can't hardly imagine having the nerve to approach each other. This is a charming movie with a sweet story and some delicious chocolate making!
