French Film Festival at Storm Cinema
Oct 28 > La Vie En Rose > SC
 La Vie En Rose/La Môme Dir: Olivier Dahan France 2007 140 minutes (15A)
The troubled life of the little sparrow Edith Piaf, who died in 1963 at the age of forty eight, had enough drama to fill a dozen movies. Her upbringing in a brothel, followed by bruising encounters with booze and drugs, created a voice that touched the world with hits such as La Vie en Rose, Milord and Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien. |
Oct 29 > Tell No One > SC
Tell No One/Ne le dis a personne
Dir: Guillaume Canet France 2006 125 minutes (15A)
A phenomenon at the French box office, Guillaume Canet’s take on Harlen Coben’s multi-million selling novel is an energetic blend of Hollywood thrills and French cinematic style with big crossover appeal. |
Oct 30 > Battle of Algiers > SC
Dir: Gillo Pontecorvo Algeria/Italy 1966 117 minutes (CLUB)
A riveting reconstruction of the Algerian struggle for independence during the mid-50s, its pseudo-documentary style still feels as headline-fresh as its content. |
Oct 31 > Molière > SC
Dir: Laurent Tirard France 2007 120 minutes (PG)
Early in his career, the French playwright and actor Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, better known by his stage name, Molière, mysteriously disappeared for several weeks. This lavish costume drama in the spirit of Shakespeare in Love imagines a scenario that may explain what happened. |
Nov 1 > My Best Friend > SC
Dir: Patrice Leconte France 2006 94 minutes (12A)
Catherine (Julie Gayet) refuses to believe that her business partner, the unlikeable François (Daniel Auteuil), has a best friend, so she challenges him to set up an introduction. Scrambling to find someone willing to pose as his best pal, François enlists the services of a charming taxi driver (Danny Boon) to play the part. |
