I watched a bunch of French films last, but some relate to a German director, so I'll save those for next week. This week's French films weren't too too 'French'. I must clarify that I notice a trend in French cinema for revealing characters through mundane activities or conversation, such as discussing dinner plans for 10-20 minutes and letting the viewer see one person enthralled by the wine while another is silently preoccupied with the events of the day. Do that a few times and you have a very 'French' movie, such as last week's award winning Blue is the Warmest Color.
