French Film
Dir: Jackie Oudney

I thought French Film achieved what it set out to do quite well. I do wonder if this would be of interest to anyone who isn't a) British or b) familiar with French Films and directors such as Malle, Rohmer, Chabrol etc. It was subtle when it needed to be and didn't rely on stereotypes as much as I thought it would. I was expecting an over the top xenophobic awkward slap-stick farce to be honest but I couldn't have been more wrong. Definitely worth a look. The enigmatic Eric Cantona is great as always.
