The 21st French Film Fest starts today at the Greenbelt 3 and BGC Cinemas.
The annual festival is where we first saw Renoir’s Grand Illusion for the first time and became a fan of Eric Rohmer via The Baker Girl of Monceau and Summer’s Tale. Last year they had a fine selection of recent movies. Watch as many movies as you can, even the ones you know nothing about. Especially the ones you know nothing about, and allow yourself to be surprised. (In this year’s slate I’ve only seen Toute Premiere Fois. It’s hysterical!)
