(7/10 – 7/27) THE 19TH ANNUAL BOSTON FRENCH FILM FESTIVAL @MFA

by

Vive la France! Not only do our Frankish friends on the other side of the Atlantic have great cuisine, nude beaches, the Louvre, openly adulterous politicians, and robot DJs, but they continue to make one cinematic treasure after another. The tradition ensues as the best of France’s modern filmmaking industry will be shown at the Museum of Fine Arts all through Juillet. Some of the highlights include MOOD INDIGO, a romcom from the visually arresting Michel Gondry, AYA OF YOP CITY, a vividly animated story told during the 1970s in the Ivory Coast, and A SUMMER’S TALE, a 1996 classic crafted by a legend of the French New Wave, Eric Rohmer. Of course, that’s only a taste, and like fine French wine the entire festival deserves to be sampled by those who want to indulge their filmic palate. So don your berets and come on down.
