It's been awhile since I've been to international cinema. Every time I've thought about going this semester something has come up. Tonight it worked out that I had nothing going on and they were showing a French film I've been wanting to see!
The movie was I've Loved You So Long (Il y a longtemps que je t'aime). It's about a woman who is getting to know her family after being in prison for 15 years. Kristin Scott Thomas does a wonderful job playing the main character (Juliette), but I really, really loved Elsa Zylberstein, who plays the sister (Lea). I just thought her character seemed so real. I wasn't really sure where the whole movie was going to end up, but I actually ended up really liking the last scene.
Well I don't want to give anything away, but I liked the movie and I loved hearing people speak French again. Click here for the trailer if you want to see more!
Also: I realize it's been a while since my last post! But I promise I will be better!

Hey! I went to this too! I liked it. I'm so glad I saw you today and am so excited to plan our party!
ReplyDeleteI loved the scene at the dinner party--the contrast of the seriousness of what she was saying and the contrast of everyone believing what she said was a joke. I felt worn out emotionally after this movie but LOVED it.
