Two Great French Films

By Ed Ecran


French movies have over time, captivated film-goers all over the world. Just like every top genre of movies, French cinema has over time developed its special style, brought to the front by the most famous artists and directors - a testimony to the fact is that many movies of the past are still watched with as much interest and appreciation as was when they were released.

French movies, just like every other great movies of all times, have successfully used elements like drama, passion, love, comedy, suspense, thriller and action that have wowed spectators. But no less successful have been the movies with a theme, for instance, movies wtih social themes.

Let's chat about some French movies that have been enormously successful over the years.

Beauty and the Beast (La Belle et La Bete) : This movie is about a man who sets out for his home one night and is captured by a half man / half animal. The beast lets the person go on condition that he will send one of his daughters to the beast. The man sends his most stunning girl to the animal and the girl discovers that that the beast has the heart of a human inside. The movie is known for its wonderful story and its special effects which were not thatt developed in those years.

Belle de Jour: This is a French film which is about a woman who loves her doctor hubby but isn't quite reconciled to the concept of having sex with him. In her quest for sex, she falls into bad company. This movie was released in 1967 and is a superb work.

These movies have been able to have a huge following for decades principally due to a fine story and skilled acting. This is all the more creditable in the absence of modern technology.
