10 Best French Movies 2014
French cinema often has the ability to touch every issue, even the most difficult or most intellectual, with lightness of touch and at the same time with thin depth. This year was marked with interesting titles: the podium of my personal top ten is inhabited by goodies that moviegoers will have surely loved.
Here are the top 10 most beautiful and best French movies 2013 - 2014 (according to me).
10 Best French Movies 2013 - 2014
1) La Vie dAdèle - Chapters 1 & 2 by Abdellatif Kechiche
In amazement I also found people who do not have loved this gem from Director viscerally franco-Tunisian. Is there anyone who has called the film "pornographic", who "welcomed". I found it just a beautiful film, shot with a surprising and naturalism with a deep artistic look. Three hours lived with intensity. Especially I was kidnapped the transport with which the two interpreters Adèle Exarchopoulos and Léa Seydoux, were completely shameless. If you are looking for in the life of Adele a manifesto of demands for the rights of homosexuals will be disappointed, of course: Kechiche import mailbox "simply" a magnificent bildungsroman to love. Lesbian love.
2) Molière cycling by Philippe Le Guay
If I think back to the scene of the bath tub, I laugh again. The comedy from Director de Le donne del 6° floor is an irresistible finesse and fraught with unexpected ironic laughter. Fabrice Luchini, who is also co-author of the subject, is unique, wonderful performer. Is formidable his Duet with Lambert Wilson, on the edge of friendship, of envy, of the common passion for acting and for the Misanthrope of Molierè. Who loves the theatre and that the French will be repaid thin humor from the vision. And then there is also our Maya Sansa, sketched some nice spring playing on the Italian.
3) Venus in furs by Roman Polanski
I admit it: its not a film for everyone. May cause the applause at the end of the vision or get bored terribly. Who has loved Carnage, the previous work of the franco-Polish Director, will love this new challenge. Only two actors, a single camera, a theatrical stage setting and claustrophobic. A duel erotic, a subtle war of the sexes, on the edge of the novel by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, the inspiration for the term "masochism". The two talented actors Emmanuelle Seigner and Mathieu Amalric.
4) the past by Asghar Farhadi
The first French film to the Iranian Director of a separation, 2012 Oscar for best foreign language film. With a similar narrative style, revealing slowly, slowly adding new revelations, builds an emotional yellow thinly stretched. Less powerful than her previous work but nonetheless valuable.
5) unexpected love of Anne Giafferi roundabout
Playing on clichés and prejudices by which the Church is often the object, but also talking about inner search and meaning of life, the Director there over a small and delicate film in some ways out of mode. "Catholic is not very sexy," says indeed Hortense (Valérie Bonneton) with his brother Antoine (Eric Caravaca), discovered in a totally unexpected attracted to the Faith. An enjoyable work, between comedy and spirituality.
6) in the House of François Ozon
The French Director as usual offers us an original story and tantalizing, which only has the defect of being a little too bizarre in the second half. A strange relationship between a Professor (Fabrice Luchini, still him, always great) and a student (Ernst Umhauer) that has the passion to spy in the homes of others. In a game of mutual manipulation and identifications, the play develops slowly like a noir.
7) Two Mothers by Anne Fontaine
Franco-Australian Film, deals with a topic certainly thorny and inconvenient that only a feminine hand could deal without timing out in inappropriate. Two great friends, to the limit of lesbianism, fall in love of their children, two beautiful young men as adoni, contraccambiate. The four passion moves between fascination and questions of plausibility. Robin Wright captures one of his best interpretations and makes everything believable.
8) A Lady in Paris by Ilmar Raag
Fragile and delicate story meetings, gives us the magnificent interpretation of Jeanne Moreau, who at 85 years retains its charm over the top and a stubborn presence and "tignosa" in front of the camera. He played an old lady Estonian emigrated to France many years ago, which is struggling to accept old age and makes life impossible to its carer (Laine Mägi), Estonian but also different social extraction.
9) As patient stone by Atiq Rahimi
The Afghan-born French filmmaker relies on superb Golshifteh Farahani to stage some kind of monologue that a wife addresses the wounded husband, reduced plant State. In a slow, the climax will reveal his anguish, oppression that was forced, his secrets, then release. Not all Film, suitable for patients hearts.
10) the son of Lorraine Lévy
For an exchange of cradles a boy credutosi Israeli always finds a Palestinian Palestinian and Israeli discovers: a real shock for the two young men as to their families, but also notice the vanity of some atavistic rivalry. An artwork that reflects on settling grudges blind written by history.
