Can someone tell me the plot/ review of any movie in french?

Question

Please talk about characters, place, time and action including beginning, middle and end?

Answer 1

If you would like to see an excellent French film, try Queen Margot. Then you can do your homework on your own.

Answer 2

I'm not going to do your homework either, but guessing you are fairly young, you might find the following films more exciting. Those previously mentioned are good but rather worthy and not the best introduction to modern French films.

Try
Delicatessan - post apocalyptic film in Paris where the locals start to eat eachother with the help of an enthusiastic butcher, there's a vegetarian underground front, and a love story.

Amelie - this one is really well known. Typically French i.e an emotional journey but not much really happens. Really good.

Les Visiteurs - very funny. An A level student should be able to understand most of this. It's a kids type film but funny about 2 guys from the middle ages who try to go back in time but end up going to modern times and trying to survive.

Auberge espagnol - this is principally French but has a mixture of European languages and cast. It's about an Erasmus exchange programme at university.

I'd recommend all these and you can probably get most from a video shop or even download.

Answer 3

I saw a french movie when I was eight. It was about a woman who was a languerie model and also engaged to a man and they were waiting until there marriage before "doing anything. At one of her runway shows an older gentleman was standing there who said "I'll show things you've never seen before". She tells this to the other models who tease her about being faithful to her fiancee. At the next show that same older man is there. The woman and him have a series of meetings, some of which happen in very provocative places. While she is meeting this man she is ignoring her fiancee whom she loves (supossedly). After the very last meeting between the model and the older man she is left alone outside a car and the man drives away. Later that night she ends up showing her fiancee what she had been taught by the older man (in the backseat of a car).

Very ADULT movie and I saw in on Cinemax late night/early morning so that's the only reason I know about it. Not for child and I don't know the name of it.

Answer 4

I am not going to do your homework for you, sorry.

I'll recommend some really good French films for you to rent out and watch before you write down your opinion. These I have listed are few of my favourites along with links.

Germinal (1885) is the thirteenth novel in Emile Zola's twenty-volume series Les Rougon-Macquart.

The title referes to the name of a month of the French Republic Calendar, a spring month. Germen is a Latin word which means "seed"; the novel describes the hope for a better future that seeds amongst the miners.

Jean de Florette (1986)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_de_Florette

The story takes place in a small village of Provence in the south of France, shortly after the First World War. Cesar Soubeyran and his nephew, Ugolin, are desperate to buy a neighbouring farm, whose owner they accidentally kill.

In order to get the farm at a good price, they stop up the natural spring that provides water to the land.

The farm is then inherited by Jean, a hunchbacked tax collector whose late mother, Florette, was once Cesar's girlfriend. Although he valiantly tries to reap the harvests of his land, putting his faith in a modern approach to agriculture, the hunchback, his wife and daughter are reduced to poverty and desperation by the lack of water, while Soubeyran and his nephew remain tight-lipped about the situation-saving spring under Jean's land. In the end, Jean is killed in an accident as a result of his attempts to find ways of supplying water to his land. However, his young daughter, Manon, has suspected that the Soubeyrans are responsible. Her suspicions are confirmed when she discovers them opening up the water source.

In the sequel, Manon des Sources, she obtains her revenge.
