7 French romantic comedies at all times

Godard, Blier, Romer and the rest remember the best romantic Comedy from France, with whom it is worthwhile to spend the weekend arm in arm or alone.

 

"A WOMAN IS A WOMAN"
DIR. JEAN-LUC GODARD, 1961






Two Jean-Claude (Belmondo and Brialy) and one Anna Karina play a silly story of a love triangle where there is jealousy, hints of debauchery, dancing, cross-dressing, red tights and arrows on the eyes. And the main thing — the two do not understand men who are merely pawns in the women's game.

Godarovskaya "Woman" is a mockery of the trappings of the romcom, going hand in hand with Borzoi installation, released camera that is not afraid of unusual camera angles and actors with perplexed faces cute Parisians.

Rhythmic, full of irony and accurate film about manipulation, innuendo and the lever control, which is often in the hands of the innocence with huge open eyes.

 

"STOLEN KISSES"
DIR. FRANÇOIS TRUFFAUT, 1968






One of the films of the famous series Truffaut about growing up Antoine Doines with Jean-Pierre Leo in the title role. Doinel goes on leave from the army and trying to find his place in life: he is curious, nimble and obsessive — arranged in a detective Agency, where he was assigned to monitor unfaithful wives, imprudent lovers, and stolen kisses. After a series of failed Affairs he becomes a packer in a Shoe shop, where he gets into someone else's life.

Truffaut making a movie about the culture of adultery, a secular propriety and confused young man who is willing to accept any rules of the game — if only to fit into the unpredictable pattern of adult life.

Stolen kisses, despite the veneer of frivolity is impossible and ridiculous main character, one of those great movies about relationships that find the courage to pretend to be stupid.

 

"A FRIEND OF A FRIEND"
DIR. ERIC ROHMER, 1987






All of Rohmer's movies about love — shot to eternity, and to advise you of virtually any from the "Night at Maud's" to "Date in Paris."

"A friend of a friend" is one of relatively recent films of Eric Rohmer, where everything is familiar and in its place. Modern urban life for young people, space exploration, casual Dating and flirt, ritualistic chain of flirting and romantic tones. Five friends — two boys and three girls — to wallow in a tiny pool neprorabotanny relations: from sympathy to the gap one step and all move to the touch. Wrong word, wrong time, wrong intonation — Romer with care doctor collects the errors and stuff, where no one learns and no one pays attention.

 

"TOO BEAUTIFUL FOR YOU"
DIR. BERTRAND BLIER, 1989






Obvious romantic Blier — "going places" and "Get out your handkerchiefs", but this film is as funny, absurd and unfair.

The main character is Gerard Depardieu in a majestic last year — has everything your heart desires and its pride is the beautiful trophy wife (Carole bouquet) with a chiseled profile and a fantastic waist. The stranger that the object of his obsession — a lover, like a donut, tremulous ingenue-Secretary, older than him.

Blie turns banal love triangle in which a man with a midlife crisis dives into the combination of a young Bimbo or buy a sports car.

"Too beautiful for you" trying to figure out what really is behind the love of imperfect earthly woman in a baggy coat, with the proletarian haircut. It will be honest, sad, gentle and very funny.

 

"FOAM OF DAYS"
DIR. MICHEL GONDRY, 2013




 

Boris vian and Michel Gondry is a random meeting of an umbrella and typewriter on an operating table, beauty in its imperfect embodiment, in the original cardboard scenery. One of the most inventive, ironic and challenging Directors of our time, much blame for this film, which is kind of riding on top of the text "Foam of days" and trying to please too.

Half of the film looks like a perfect Romka with a crazy postcard with milk and honey, the second half is like a nightmare from the paintings of Magritte. Romaine Dyuris and Audrey Tautou play the love story, which begins for the health, and could result in anything, and play it, never evil.

Generous in every detail, festive and a great film about eternal sunshine of the passion, which wants to be any.

 

"LITTLE SECRETS"

DIR. GUILLAUME CANET, 2013





"Little white lies" "little white lies" — an idiom for a stupid, ugly, and tiny secrets that people surround themselves for their own comfort.

Romance of Guillaume Canet in which a lot of funny, and tragic, and it is sewn into the fabric of daily so quietly that it is not recognized at the time, is one of the best and most successful French films for all for the last time. We meet with a group of friends from 30 to 40, who come every year to the sea to relax and socialize. Once the arrival of their friend remains in the hospital after the accident, and its absence induces the usual company to new revelations and difficult conversations.

Cana with genuine sincerity and interest observes the ten adults who act like children when they can't reconcile with reality and relationships in which all difficult.

 

"I WAS TALKING ABOUT... (MY SEX LIFE)"
DIR. ARNO DESPLECHIN, 1996






Three hours in the company of Paul, who does not know how to discuss their sex, and, obviously, any other life, it goes unnoticed. Perhaps because the Field plays a fresh and youthful Mathieu Amalric with eyes beady, perhaps because the Director Arnaud Desplechin builds the story around the momentary subtleties and outstanding relationship with ourselves and with others, which is the compromise of the modern adult. Sultry girlfriend from years ago is interesting or at least a few days on the side? Scientific career or competition with a colleague whom you do not have to wait for anything good? Sudden child from an exhausting relationship or to live only for themselves?

Paul is floundering and choking among the nervous and unnecessary communications supported by trying to honestly answer who he is and who he needs to love.published
