Le Cinema Francais

My interview for UPS is tonight at 11:45 pm. I just finished applying to Border's Books, as well. I think that this opportunity will be a much better fit for me than picking up boxes and such. Not that I'm a pansy or anything... The last two nights, I re-watched two of my favorite French movies, A Bout de Souffle and L'Auberge Espagnole. I saw both during college, and thought they were the awesome. L'Auberge I saw in Paris the first few days after I moved there, and didn't understand a word. It's the story of a French college student that moves to Spain for ayear abroad. Hilarity ensues because he moves into an apartment with people from all over the European Union. It has some wonderful views of Barcelona, as well! I think it is the poster child for the new EU that is being created. A Bout, I saw after a good friend of mine (a Radio-TV-Film major) suggested that we see it. It tells the story of a petty thief running away from the French police with his American (sometimes) girlfriend. It is probably one of the best examples of the French New Wave Cinema that became popular in the 1960s. Both are wonderful, though VERY different examples of French cinema.
