FRENCH ROM-COMS & DRAMAS
Romance, cinema, and French go together like good food, wine, and sex.
Why shouldn’t they? After all, French is widely considered to be the most romantic language in the world, perhaps due to its breathy, vowel-heavy sound palette, and cinema as a commercial endeavor was pioneered by the Lumière Brothers in Paris. So what kind of films has this delicious cultural ménage-à-trois yielded so far? Join us for a spirited discussion with Jordan as we explore French romantic comedies and dramas that have titillated audiences worldwide, ranging from foundational classics such as Truffaut’s Jules et Jim to modern masterpieces like Kechiche’s Blue is the Warmest Color.
La vie d’Adèle, Abdellatif Kechiche (2013)
