Mark is right. "Chacun Cherche Son Chat" (if you can repeat this title 10 times very fast, your french is excellent) is certainly the best film directed by Cedric Clapisch. I would just add that the old lady who is the lead actress is not a professional actress. She gave many interviews when the film was released, and she is really as fantastic in real life as she was in the film. happy to see thattere are some french films addicts on Sinister !

great film indeed, it was actually supposed to be a short film, but it turned into a long feature... actually, i thought "un air de famille" was excellent... if anybody else felt the same, you could also check out "cuisine et dependances", which was written by the same duo Agnès Jaoui/Phillippe Bacri (who also act in both films)... i don't know if it was released in England... For french films, avoid anything with Jean Lefevbre in it.... Cedric Klapisch has made quite a few decent films, "riens du tout" with the wonderful fabrice lucchini, and "peril jeune" set in the early 70's... There's quite a lot of fabulous films over here, trouble is, i can't remember any at the moment... if anybody's interested, mail me, i might have remembered by then... Oh, and is there still no chance that Strasbourg date in October could be mover to Toulouse? alan +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
