french fried

Amélie, 2001
hmm... been watching MORE french films. Heh...

March of the Penguins... where the bravery and the courage of the animals inspires... and the humans who braved frostbite and the loneliness in the south pole just to show the world... such a symphony. And the music was beautiful... ethereal...

Just beautiful. Le Papillion.. Le Choriste... and to add a more contemporary feel...

Amélie... just love the quirky audrey tatou in there... brings that *grin*

And more recently... Spanish Apartments and Russian Dolls...

Hmm... somehow the feel is more poetic, more artistic... gentler... and they dig into the journey... the movie is less slick... and less clothes change, reuse of cast at different scenes... but there's a rawness and realness that emits out... it is not BANG BANG ha... but so fluid... funny yet poignant... raw emotions... makes me want to visit France...

Ah... just found out the director of When the Cat's Away is also Cédric Klapisch who also directed Spanish Apartments and Russian Doll...

Think I'm french fried. Yeah... just watched Super Size Me too... One thing I like about the Americans... they dare to laugh at themselves.
