25 Great French Films: Ebert's Essentials

The famed film writer and critic reviews twenty-five essential French films, featuring Amélie, Belle du Jour, La Vie en Rose, and Au Revoir les Enfants.
Like a full-bodied Bordeaux wine, Roger Ebert’s e-book original 25 Great French Films will reward you with a rich variety of full-length reviews of cinematic experiences. From such classics as Belle de Jour, Day for Night, and The 400 Blows to the sweeping drama (and beautiful scenery!) of Jean de Florette and its sequel Manon of the Spring, this e-book provides a perfect primer for those new to French films and a welcome refresher course for true Francophiles. And, as an added attraction, most of the reviews are accompanied with a clip of the movies’ trailers, including gems like Mr. Hulot’s Holiday and Jules and Jim.

Quotes

    I demand that a film express either the joy of making cinema or the agony of making cinema. I am not at all interested in anything in between.

    —François Truffaut

    and what is most revolutionary about the movie is its headlong pacing, its cool detachment, its dismissal of authority, and the way its narcissistic young heroes are obsessed with themselves and oblivious to the larger society.
  • Алиса Остапенкоhas quoted7 years ago
    We expect that the mystery of the videos will be solved, explained, and make sense. But perhaps not.
