French Films I've Seen

By: Ally the Manic Listmak​er


[Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jacqueline Bisset in Le Magnifique]

I was having a conversation with Marcos A.: how many French films have I seen?

I don’t know. 500? 700? 1000? I don’t know. Let me list the ones I’ve seen here and maybe we can figure this one out.

Just last night I saw Micmacs at the theater. Last week I saw Wild Grass twice. I need to get my French fix!

Here are lists I’ve created by several French directors (this will help me create my list):

Chantal Akerman (Belgian)
Olivier Assayas
Jacques Audiard
Laurence Ferreira Barbosa
Jacques Becker
Jean Becker
Claude Berri
Luc Besson
Bertrand Blier
Catherine Breillat
Robert Bresson

625? Off the hook. Were those seen on your French tenure, or were they flicks you've been seeing for the most part of your life? Just curious.

    I had maybe seen two or three French films before I was 22: Amelie and Truffaut's Small Change come to mind. After I saw Rouge, I was on a quest to see as many as I could. So they are pretty much all the films I've seen during the last 8 years. I included the films I saw in France, but that is just a small percentage, since I was only there for 6 months.

    Aha. I see. You could have done a binge-cinephiliac trip whilst on France, hence the question. Argent de Poche, a cute little film is it not? Rouge? Still have not seen that one, major flaw. 625 French films is a boat-full of Frenchness. Awesome. Do you know how the French say hi5 in Français? hi5, mon pote! aha.
