A Slice of Cannes Right in Your Own Living Room

Have you ever had the odd feeling of watching so many foreign films in one day that you start to think that the actors on screen are actually saying the words you are reading on the bottom? No? Well, maybe you should. It is absolutely one of the most odd yet delightful experiences. Plus, a day like that does wonders to your cinematic street cred. With Kate and I getting ready to say au revoir in about a month, the introduction of French film to our movie repertoire was a natural step in the process of embracing our new home. Word of caution to those that may want to attempt to throw their own little Cannes Film Festival, have an open mind to the artistry behind truly creative cinema, be ready for all of the reading, and American movies will never be the same again.

After a couple of days of only watching documentaries and foreign films, I am now hooked. I have been scouring the internet for more film and documentary titles, attempting to saturate my mind and satiate my new appreciation for the artistic outlet that is film making.

Here are the trailers to a few of the movies Kate and I have in our Netflix ques as well as ones we absolutely adore. As you will see a number of them are about the fashion industry, but what else do you expect from the country that has blessed the world with icons such as Chanel, YSL, and Louboutin. Enjoy!
