23/2/2015 0 Comments FRENCH FILM FESTIVALThe French Film Festival will be in Sydney from the 3rd to the 22th of March 2015. That's a great opportunity to have some good time watching French films and improve your French at the same time. Each year it curates a selection of the best contemporary french films. Here you can watch the trailer of one of the films from the selection, Gemma Bovery. This charming retelling of the classic Madame Bovary story is a visual feast, from the picturesque countryside to the so-good-you-can-almost-taste-it patisserie. Gemma Arterton is the playfully updated version of France’s most famous heroine with Fabrice Luchini as the smitten baker and film’s narrator. Complications ensue when Gemma meets a dashing aristocrat - just as the plot unfolds in the book. Skilfully directed by Anne Fontaine, who also made the similarly sumptuous Coco Before Chanel, Gemma Bovery is based on the popular graphic novel by Posy Simmonds. Balancing real sensuality and hilarious one-liners, this is an endearing film about the dangers of stirring passions, with Arterton radiant as the titular bored housewife and Luchini delightful as always in the role of the comically obsessed baker.
