Please recommend me a French film

[UntamedWisteria]

We have been watching Call My Agent which we like a lot, but Saturday is movie night.

So I would like to watch a French film with subtitles to keep up our practice. Please recommend me something good!

Tell No One. Love this movie.

The 'Three Colours' series are older but very good. Depending on who's watching, Betty Blue was very popular when I was at university.

Can't beat a bit of Jean de Florette though! 😊

Amelie - old but fab

Also Lupin on Netflix

Les untouchables is brilliant.

Also quite like Populaire

Ooh I was going to say ‘Tell no one’ - great film!

I’ll have to say ‘Trop belle pour toi’

Or ‘pour elle’

But could go on!

A Very Secret Service - series but v good about French spies in 1960s
V funny!

I watched 'Aurore' or 'I've got Life' on iplayer recently and it was a bit of amiddle aged romcom. Not the greatest film ever but an easy watch with some funny moments.

Amelie
Delicatessen
Three Colours (trilogy)
Breathless
Jules and Jim
The Beat That My Heart Skipped
Mesrine
Jean de Florette / Manon des Sources
The Lobster
The City of Lost Children
Betty Blue
A Prophet

Betty Blue, the soundtrack is beautiful.
La Reine Margot, fabulous dresses.

Not seen any of them yet but they are free to watch. Les Malheurs de Sophie seems a children's story.

I really enjoyed The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

All of greycloudysky’s suggestions!

But also Lupin! We’re just rewatching with the subtitles in French to really practise.

Ma Vie en Rose

And quatre cent coups

The African doctor. A beautiful film

Tell no one is great.

Also loved The Page Turner and Hidden is wonderful.

Oh and Portrait of a Lady on Fire is perfection.

Thanks. So many great suggestions!

Ridicule by patrice Leconte

Les parapluies de Cherbourg and 8 Women.

Priceless with Audrey Tautou is one of my favourite films.

Portrait of a Lady on Fire is sublime. If you're after another series do try Spiral, it's a brilliant police drama and think the whole lot is on iPlayer.

All of greycloudysky's suggestions - plus L'Appartement. Loved that film

Cyrano de Bergerac
Swimming pool
Cache

'Intouchables' is very funny but heartwarming, if you haven't seen it. I think it's back on Amazon Prime Video at the minute.
I also really liked 'Je ne suis pas un homme facile'. It's on Netflix.
'Diner de cons' is a bit older. It's the original of 'Dinner for Schmucks', as far as I know!
