There's something about French love story films. A concoction of intense romance, mystery, charm, blitheness, incredibility and at times a hint of tragedy. These movies are injected with riveting twists that they leave an impression that's hard to forget. You would want to tell a friend to watch them so you'll have someone to relate to; you can't just keep it to yourself. Suddenly you find yourself yearning to watch more French movies may it be in different genres.
Watch these for a start:
Jeux d'enfants (Love Me If You Dare)
A childhood daring game between Sophie and Julien extends to their adult years where it leads them to fulfilling their dream of eternal love.
L'appartement (The Apartment)
Max's obsession with his lost love Lisa somehow becomes a labyrinth that's headed to a tragic conclusion.
Un long dimanche de fiancailles (A Very Long Engagement)
Mathilde remains hopeful that her fiance Manech is still alive after being condemned to death due to self-mutilation to escape service in the war. In search for the truth, she discovers interesting stories of the different men who were to face the same fate with her lover.
What makes these movies interesting is probably due to the fact that it's French-- the language, lifestyle, setting. I don't really know, I can't quite explain it myself. Maybe it's just the French way; maybe... C'est la vie!
