How many of y'all have seen the French movie Amelie?
Well, Amelie director Jean-Pierre Jeunet followed up that movie with A Very Long Engagement a romantic film set in World War I that was pretty graphic. It was about a woman's search for her teenage fiancee, who was sent into No Man's Land. I rewatched the film just last year.
(Fun fact: Jodie Foster shows up in the middle of the film as a French speaker.)
Anyways, I'm posting this in the obituaries thread because the star of that film, Gaspard Ulliel, died today in a ski accident. He was 37.
He also stars in the upcoming Marvel series Moon Knight.

Hopefully not derailing this thread too much... The French say, with pride, that Jodie Foster speaks French "sans accent".
I enjoyed both "Amelie" and "A Very Long Engagement". Here are four of my all-time favorite French movies:
"Au Revoir les Enfants" (drama set in a French boarding school in occupied France towards the end of WWII)
"The Dinner Game" (original French version... screwball comedy... every time I watch it, it gets funnier, as I spend less time reading the subtitles and can pay attention to the rest of it... people who say the French have a lousy sense of humor because they reportedly liked Jerry Lewis have to explain this)
"The Class" (non-documentary that looks like a documentary... set in a school in a diverse area outside of Paris... hands down the most realistic movie I have ever seen about school and I was a teacher for 19 years)
"The Kings of Pastry" (actual documentary of pastry chefs who vie for the profession's highest honor in France... the award, loosely translated as "Best Craftsmen of France" is given in dozens and dozens of professions, is highly coveted and shows the pride that the French often take in their work... any work)
These movies are all accessible to the average educated movie watcher. Nothing too "far out" or "new wave European". If my descriptions sound at all interesting to you, I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
