Two Classic French Movies

By Ed Ecran


French movies have over time, captivated film-goers all over the world. Just like every top genre of movies, French cinema has over time developed its special style, brought to the front by the most famous artists and directors - a testimony to the fact is that many movies of the past are still watched with as much interest and appreciation as was when they were released.

French films, just like any other great movies of all times, have successfully used elements like drama, passion, romance, comedy, suspense, thriller and action that have wowed the audience. But no less successful have been the movies with a theme, as an example, movies wtih social themes.

Let's discuss some French movies that've been massively successful over the years.

Beauty and the Beast (La Belle et La Bete) : This picture is about a person who sets out for his home one night and is caught by a half man / half beast. The beast lets the man go on condition that he is going to send one of his girls to the beast. The person sends his most beautiful child to the beast and the girl realizes the beast has the soul of a human within. The film is famous for its glorious story and its special effects which weren't yet developed in those years.

Belle de Jour: This is a French film which is about a woman who loves her doctor hubby but isn't quite reconciled to the concept of having sex with him. In her quest for sex, she falls into bad company. This movie was released in 1967 and is a superb work.

These movies have managed to have a huge following for decades mainly because of a amazing storyline and skillfull acting. This is even more worthy lacking the presence of advanced special effects.
