RÉTROSPECTIVE DE COMÉDIES FRANÇAISES CULTES
29 novembre, 2006 |
More French Movie Fare. It must be Christmas!! Oh, wait, it is!!
From December 1 2006 through January 2 2007, the Gene Siskel Film Center in Chicago presents French Ticklers, a series of eight comedies presented in association with Cultural Services of the French Embassy and the Ministère des Affaires Étrangères (MAE).
French Ticklers presents a selection of prominent comedies from the last quarter-century. These films represent the field of popular comedy rarely seen in American theaters, as opposed to the art-house variety of AMELIE and LOOK AT ME. Only three of them (LA CHÈVRE, FRENCH TWIST, THE VISITORS) have received U.S. theatrical releases, and they are seldom revived. Several of the films in the series are being screened in original French versions that were cut or altered for American theatrical or video release.

Special thanks to Diane Eberhardt, Cultural Services of the French Embassy, Chicago; Delphine Selles and François Leloup-Collet, Cultural Services of the French Embassy, New York; and Antoine Sebire, Embassy of France, Washington.
(Some of the movies shown are must-see for anyone who wants to develop an appreciation of popular French comedies. I can only applaud all those responsible for putting this program together - Patrick)
