bibiche Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 (edited) Ten films (though they might not be available for viewing through this site, they should all be easily available) with pedagogical guides. We are going to start with Au revoir les enfants. https://www.reseau-canope.fr/aux-films-citoyens/les-10-films.html#bandeauPtf Edited April 8, 2017 by bibiche 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wintermom Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Have you watched any of the animated films? How do you find comprehension when you can't see the people's mouths moving with the sound? I hate trying to watch movies dubbed in French. It's always challenging for a non-native speaker to understand, I find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't normally exactly match what is being said but it should help. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald Stoker Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Merci! You probably all know about the NFB already, but here is the link to their French catalogue, just in case: https://www.nfb.ca/explore-all-films/?language=fr&sort_order=alphabetical&production_year_min=1917&production_year_max=2017&duration_min=20&duration_max=13865&format=all_formats&download_type=all_download_types&alpha_filter=A&genre=all_genres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

English subtitles would be ever better until we improve our French comprehension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madteaparty Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Bumping this to ask: anyone else incredibly frustrated trying to find French films in French streaming anywhere in the US? Belle et Sebastian is dubbed on prime. I was trying to find Souvenir (2016) for myself mainly bc Pink Martini wrote three songs for it and...nothing. I don't think these are obscure films... DH will bring me some dvds back but I feel like I have this problem every single summer ( as we attempt to go on summer schedule with the languages and everything else)😱 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CadenceSophia Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Streaming... Depends on if you are looking for legal or not. I agree it is frustrating -- sometimes you can't even pay for this stuff if you want to. I don't really watch movies and it's not too much trouble to find series, but I'd much rather have them through the paid sites. I know Netflix is trying to improve but it is completely aggravating to have a series that has French audio in Canada or France but only English here. It was super nice back when vpn's worked for Netflix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone take my money and throw me a french film that's PG13 and lower ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're welcome!Dd isn't very good at estimating levels, and it is very subjective of course. But Kerity was harder then expected after watching the movie in her mothertongue several times. And we watched recently No et Moi, and they spoke extremely fast, we could only follow by french subtitles We estimate dd as B1+ by now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madteaparty Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Talking about films, does anyone know the approximate rating for the french series "A french Village"? (Available in the US on Hulu). I read somewhere 14+ but thought I'd check here to make sure. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
