Avec un vrai sens du rythme, des répliques qui font mouche, des personnages réjouissants, cette comédie enlevée a comme un air de fête." - Femme Actuelle A hugely enjoyable romp" - The Hollywood Reporter |

M - 107 minutes Comedy French with English subtitles The masterminds behind The Intouchables are back with C'est la Vie, a charming comedy hit. Max is a wedding planner and close to retirement, he takes on a job in a 17th century château. As the celebration gets underway everything goes wrong. Can Max and his team pull things together to make this party memorable for all the right reasons? Max est traiteur depuis trente ans. Aujourd'hui c'est un sublime mariage dans un château du 17ème siècle, un de plus, celui de Pierre et Héléna. Comme d'habitude, Max a tout coordonné :... mais la loi des séries va venir bouleverser un planning sur le fil où chaque moment de bonheur et d'émotion risque de se transformer en désastre ou en chaos. Des préparatifs jusqu'à l'aube, nous allons vivre les coulisses de cette soirée à travers le regard de ceux qui travaillent et qui devront compter sur leur unique qualité commune : Le sens de la fête.

Encore screenings of French Film Festival
|
Focal Point Cinema in Havelock North has informed us that there will be encore screenings of the following film:
De Gaulle: Tilting Iron finishes on 25 August A powerful account of Charles de Gaulle’s journey during World War II, told in a two-part epic. Follow his rise from French army officer to leader of the French Resistance against Nazi Germany. Direct from the world premiere in France comes De Gaulle: Tilting Iron. June 1940, France collapses and signs the Armistice. In the midst of the chaos, one man, Charles de Gaulle, refuses to give up. Taking the ultimate gamble he flees to London and seeks to convince the world that the battle for France is neither over nor lost. What follows next is a triumphant story of faith, audacity and an unshakeable quest for freedom. |

The Colours of Time /La venue de l'Avenir
The hit of this year’s French Film Festival is back!
Director Cedric Klapisch (The Spanish Apartment trilogy) has crafted a genuine crowd-pleaser that blends the excitement, wonder and art of Belle Epoque France with present day themes around identity, legacy and connection. In 1895, young Adele (Suzanne Lindon) leaves Normandy for Paris, a city alive and buzzing with invention, photography and the rise of Impressionism. |
