WHAT'S INSIDE

 

French cinema, explained simply. A short retelling in clear French of what makes it different: the New Wave, the cinéma d'auteur, and the "French Ending."

The words of this world. A focused vocabulary list (un réalisateur, un film d'auteur, la Nouvelle Vague, le montage, un long-métrage), each word in French with its English meaning.

What to watch first. A short list of French films for intermediate learners, the ones recommended in the video, with where to find them.
