Recent French Movies

When it comes to the French movies and the paradigm of cinema followed in France. One thing is worth noticing that is the subtle yet intelligent tradition that the French follows. From the time of new wave cinema France have always tried to move out of the contemporary patterns and build up their own techniques and pattern in films. They have always been seen to explore with the “new” when everything was conventional. With time, this tradition was seen to have matured and excelled under a few masterpiece directors and even the new breeds. Today from film festivals to the normal audience, everyone is receiving the films with equal ease and respect and they are given a very profound position within the world cinema tradition.

Copacabana

A recent French film that made its way to the Cannes this year is an intrinsic comedy film. This film is presents a very common yet very sensitive story. That has already stolen many hearts and caught attention internationally. The plot is based on the mother – daughter relationship that gets a very different tone in this film. A very simple yet careerist mother has done everything in her life to get success, but all this while she has got quite a lot distanced from her own daughter. This she realizes when her daughter refuses to invite her to her own wedding. She gets a reality check and vows to do everything to gain her trust and love back. The plot rolls on focusing on the mother’s struggle.

Thrillers

When it comes to new cinema, France has really gone far ahead exploring several genres. This can really be seen in the recent French films. This year at Cannes, France premiered with “Simon Werner a Disparu” a very different style of thriller films. However, recent French movies have also explored other contemporary genres in various different ways like “from Paris with love”. Both the films have actually presented a variety and a paradigm shift in every way while have still kept with the tradition of “breathless” alive. Simple plots of real life yet very different and realistic in presentation these films present a kaleidoscope of France. Ambassadors, police, murder etc make these French movies heavily loaded and very outstanding.

Romance

There is nothing more outrageous in France, compared to romance. There is killing, hatred, yet there prevails love. Portraying love in a very different yet very personal way has been a long practiced tradition in France. This has actually helped to make films and celebrate love internationally. From recent French movies, “Bluebeard “is worth mentioning in this category. A very sweet, melodious film about two sisters who are actually made to read the fairy tale of this name and then the plot bends with them encountering the similar fate as the princess in the story. It is the juxtaposition of the reality and the tale, that is done fabulously in this locale which otherwise would not have been really that splendid.

French movies from 50’s onwards have painted a very different yet truly remarkable cinema. These films influenced from other film traditions of the world presented certain different elements to the audience that was and is very much France in all ways possible. From working with various genres to scripting the real in a unique way the directors have done their best and are still doing it. This in the recent times has just kept French movies ahead in the festival circle.
