El Cuarto de Leo at San Sebastian 2009 123c19

It follows the life of Céline, a French girl so enamored with God and her religion that she i...

“That movie was absolutely French.” The man next to me couldn't have been more right: at the end of Making Plans for Léna, I could feel the collective “what the...” that tends to through people's heads at the end of a particularly “French” movie. But what makes a movie seem French? It's not the language or even the location: there are hundreds of movies that were set in , made in , in French with French actors and French directors that don't c...
