Places: France/Films and cinema.


A concise list of French films/cinema, with title, dates and directors names. I have always been a great fan of film, but for me French films just have a little something...romance, whimsy, beauty...perfection. The films which I have highlighted in bold are specifically important in my life, and in the history of cinema- having particular acclaim or redeemed success. I will go on to study and research these films in more depth at a later stage.
