Saw the topper most movie "Le Chagrin et la pitié " ("The Sorrow and the Pity") over the weekend. Four hours, and aren't you proud of me that I actually was able to concentrate long enough to watch a fucking movie.It was a series of interviews with people about the Fall/occupation/liberation of France in World War Two. It was a great movie - there were Resistance people and traitors, Wermacht officers and French Waffen SS volunteers, farmers, English, French, and German Gvt types, all talking on the German noccupation of France.
It's a great four hours, and already Mr. Lipps @ school has reserved it. Love to hear spoken french, and it's always the case that this Tourist enabled French speaker thinks, as he hears the French and reads the subtitles "Oh, I know all this and understand it all". However, take away the subtitles...............
As I read my differing blogs to-day, I really wonder who has had a more baleful impact on the image of the French - The Nazis or Spliffe ? (N-Oops, please dinna tink dat me makes spliffe a nat. Socialist - she not dat. Me just tink me clever. Beddy beddy clever.)
