Day 1: Le feu follet (The Fire Within)
Directed and Written by: Louis Malle
Year: 1963
Alain Leroy (Maurice Ronet) is on the verge of taking his own life. He is a writer who drowned himself in alcohol and women during his good days. Anyhow, he is now staying in a rehabilitation center in Versailles where he starts to suffer from depression. He intends to commit suicide but first decides to visit his friends in Paris to seek last-minute answers for his seemingly lost life.
“Le Feu Follet” is based on the novel of the same name by Pierre Drieu La Rochelle, and was inspired by the life of Jacques Rigaut.
Day 2: Monsieur Klein (Mr. Klein)
Directed by: Joseph Losey Written by: Franco Solinas, Fernando Morandi
Year: 1976
Filmed with an intention of reconstructing the lives of the Jews and how some entrepreneurs took advantage of the situation during the Vichy regime, “Monsieur Klein” is a mysterious and subtle portrayal of a life of a free man turned into the hunted.
Set in Paris, in January 1942, when France experiences defeat and occupation by the Nazis, Robert Klein – an art dealer – buys artworks cheaply from Jewish collectors desperate to raise money and leave the country. One day, he wakes up learning that there is another Robert Klein living in Paris, but this time, it is a Jew. He reports the incident to the authorities but the authorities are suspicious, so they ask him to offer proof that he has no Jewish ancestry.
Will Klein manage to dispel all the suspicion about his race? As his pursuit goes on, he starts to learn more and gain empathy for the victims of the infamous Vel d’Hiv Roundup.
Day 3: Pickpocket
Directed and Written by: Robert Bresson
A young, cocky Michel has a very unusual hobby of pickpocketing. It all started with a first successful attempt at the racetrack stealing some cash. He is arrested immediately but released thereafter due to lack of strong evidence. The incident makes him reflect on the morality of his habit, but he soon falls into the hands of a small group of professional pickpockets who teach him the art of their trade.
From being a mere hobby, pickpocketing becomes a way of life for Michel. Eventually, he could not stop himself even though his family and friends try to help him to do so. In this film, Bresson integrated the surreal hobby of pickpocketing and the desire of man to find a means of expressing himself. He even hired a true pickpocket as his ‘technical adviser’ for the said film.
Day 4: Le Plaisir (House of Pleasure)
Directed by: Max Ophüls Written by: Jacques Natanson and Max Ophüls
Year: 1952
“Le Plaisir” is an anthology of three different stories centered on pleasure, adapted from Guy de Maupassant’s stories. The first story, “Le Masque” is about a man who wears a mask to continuously attract young women at balls. He used to be a handsome and charming man, but starts to lose his looks as he ages. “Le Masque” speaks about how men are blinded by the idea of pleasure being attainable through youthfulness.
After this story is the story of “La Maison Tellier” which is about pleasure and purity. The story revolves around how and why a brothel keeper brings her girls to attend the first communion of her niece.
The third and last story is “Le Modèle” which is about a painter who falls in love with his model. Things are idyllic at first, but after some time, they start to fight and when he leaves her alone, she threatens him with her own death. The last story materializes the irony of pleasure and death.
Day 5 : L’esquive (Games of Love and Chance)
Directed by: Abdellatif Kechiche Written by: Abdellatif Kechiche, Ghalya Lacroix
Year: 2003
A story of teenage love developed further by a school project about staging one of Marivaux’s plays, “Games of Love and Chance” uses literature as an escapist outlet to the repressed emotions and innocence in love of teenagers who struggle to fit in. Abdelkrim or Krimo, who is not really an actor and does not have any acting role for the school project, falls in love with Lydia, who, in contrast, is part of the said production. In order to impress her, he accepts the role of Arlequin and joins the rehearsal, yet his introversion is blocking his every chance to participate in the play successfully and to win the heart of Lydia. “Games of Love and Chance” is not just any typical high-school romantic comedy, but it involves an experimental demonstration on how an 18th century classic French comedy still has relevance to our romantic adventures today.
Day 6: L’enfance nue (Naked Childhood)
Directed by: Maurice Pialat Written by: Arlette Langmann and Maurice Pialat
Year: 1969
“L’enfance nue” revolves around the life of a 10-year-old boy whose mother places him in foster care, and who has been shuttled from one foster home into another every time his current foster family finds his behavior too much to handle. François (played by Michel Terrazon) feels lost and unwanted when his mother leaves him in foster care.
As he is growing up, the abandonment persistently disturbs him and it affects his behavior greatly. His erratic behavior brings him into a great deal of trouble, yet he only wants to gain affection and boost his self-image to overcome his mother’s rejection. With its sentimental scenarios and sober form, “L’enfance nue” remains one of Pialat’s finest works.
Day 7: Comment je me suis disputé… (ma vie sexuelle) (My Sex Life… Or How I Got Into An Argument)
Directed by: Arnaud Desplechin Written by: Arnaud Desplechin, Emmanuel Bourdieu
Year: 1996
What are the problems that intellectuals encounter around the age of thirty? Most of us think that intellectual students are greatly blessed as they excel in academia and have great opportunities ahead, but in this film, “Comment je me suis disputé… (ma vie sexuelle)” demonstrates how it really feels inside a mind of an indecisive but intellectual philosophy lecturer who is still completing his thesis and searching for his purpose in life.
Paul Dedalus is in a crisis to make several big decisions for his future. He wonders whether he will complete his doctoral degree, or if he really wants to become a full-time professor, or if he really loves his girlfriend. He knows he wants to be successful, but the success he desires is still far from the reality he’s in.
The film is highly praised for its subtle penetration inside the intellectuals’ loneliness with the mind games they constantly engage with, their ideas about sex and love, their pride, white lies, and their quite neurotic lifestyles which might seem incomprehensible at first, but will gradually envelop you on how chaotic it is inside a smart mind.
Day 8: La Collectionneuse (The Collector)
Directed by: Éric Rohmer Written by: Patrick Bauchau, Haydée Politoff, Daniel Pommereulle, Éric Rohmer
Year: 1967
“La Collectionneuse” is the third movie in the “Six Contes Moraux” (six moral tales) of Director Éric Rohmer. Daniel and Adrien are invited to spend a vacation at a mutual friend’s house in Saint-Tropez. When they arrive, they discover that they are not alone in the house; in fact, there is a vivacious bohemian woman staying with them. This woman turns out to be pleasuring herself with several lovers.
Both Adrien and Daniel despise her because of this revelation; however, Adrien gradually becomes more and more infatuated with the personality of the woman which turns out to be a bigger problem. Éric Rohmer displays his active and uninhibited moral skepticism regarding the moral grounds confining most of the people. The film will help us introspect on our own accounts of morality.
Day 9: L’Âge d’or (The Golden Age)
Directed by: Luis Buñuel Written by: Luis Buñuel, Salvador Dalí
Year: 1930
An example of a psychoanalytic Freudian movie from the 1930’s and a surrealist tale of a man and a woman who are passionately in love with one another. However, their relationship is constantly rebuked by their families, the Church and the bourgeois society.
The plot of the film depicts various instances of repressed sexual urges and suppressed animalistic desire for violence. It also examines the sexual mores of bourgeois society at the time and the value of the dogmatic Catholic Church in the eyes of the people. At the beginning of the story is a scorpion, which according to some critics has a tail composed of five prismatic articulations where it injects venom into its prey. These five sections of the scorpion’s tail are claimed to be represented by the five vignettes of the film.
Day 10: La permission de minuit (The Moon Child)
Directed and written by: Delphine Gleize
Year: 2011
How will you break the news to a patient about your impending leave after the long years you have been together? You have created an unusual friendship, and you know that his case is so special and severe that you cannot just turn over his case to another doctor. This is the dilemma of David, a fifty-year-old doctor specializing in dermatology who has a special patient whom he has been treating for almost eleven years.
His patient is Romain, a thirteen-year-old “moon child” boy. He is afflicted with a rare genetic disorder that makes his skin extremely sensitive to ultraviolet radiation. Romain can’t be exposed to UV radiation; thus he cannot stay in the sun. Due to his condition, the lighting in his room or wherever he will go must also be checked firsthand.
The basic doctor/patient relationship turns complicated due to the degree of trust, love, and care that each starts to give to one another since Romain is still a child. How can David tell this poor boy about his leaving when Romain is also struggling with his sickness and adolescence? As the day of separation draws nearer, the challenges they experience each day become harder.
Day 11: Généalogies d’un crime (Genealogies of a Crime)
Directed by: Raúl Ruiz Written by: Raúl Ruiz, Pascal Bonitzer
Year: 1997
Can a person’s interest or desire for criminal activities be determined as early as the age of infancy? Jeanne is a cruel psychiatrist who is convinced that her nephew, René, has criminal tendencies, and is destined to a life of vices afterwards. Her death thereon puts René on trial for murdering her. However, on the other side of the story, Solange is a defense attorney known for her reputation of losing cases that have a low chance of winning.
Solange meets René when René’s only hope is to find a good lawyer to defend him. Nevertheless, though René still needs a more suitable lawyer, he prefers to bring Solange into the game, while forming an alliance with a surreal group of French and Belgian psychologists headed by Georges. “Genealogies of a Crime” takes an eccentric look at the nature of crime in relation to the human mind, science, and the modern society.
Day 12: Ressources humaines (Human Resources)
Directed by: Laurent Cantet Written by: Laurent Cantet, Gilles Marchand
Year: 1999
A multi-awarded film by Laurent Cantet, “Human Resources”, as its title implies, is about the personal difficulties and conflicts between management or corporate leaders and their labour forces. The movie tells the story of Franck who returns to his hometown while studying at a business school in Paris. He applies as a trainee in the Human Resources department of the factory where his father has been working for 30 years.
Franck discovers that the management wants to manipulate his field study about the proposed 35-hour workweek to justify their decision on downsizing, which will leave several employees unemployed – including his father. The film illustrates the typical gap between labor and management, and the ethics behind business politics. It also tackles a tale of filial piety and paternal love of Franck and his father.
Day 13: Il est plus facile pour un chameau… (It’s Easier for a Camel)
Directed by: Valeria Bruni Tedeschi Written by: Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, Noémie Lvovsky, Agnès de Sacy
Year: 2003
How we envy the life of the rich people with their privilege of worry-free, financially stable lives. They don’t have to work as much as we do, yet they can go anywhere they want, whenever they want, and do whatever they want to do. What a perfect life right?
Federica could ask for nothing more in her life. She is extremely rich, with a loving fiancé, and a loving father. However, due to the privilege of being a daughter of a rich family, she becomes detached from the reality of the common life. As a consequence, she seeks meaning in her life and is faced with problems which money cannot save her from.
Day 14: Présumé Coupable (Presumed Guilty)
Directed by: Vincent Garenq Written by: Vincent Garenq
Year: 2011
Where is justice? You will hear victims of false accusations and miscarriage of justice asking this with confusion while mourning their unfortunate end at the expense of the corrupt justice system. However, the only thing we could give to them as outsiders is to send our utmost sympathies.
The film “Presumed Guilty” tells the story of a man, his wife, and their three children torn apart by an accusation of child molestation. One day, Alain Marécaux and his wife are taken into police custody after being wrongly accused as pedophiles. Their case is assigned to a young judge who sees the case as a stepping stone for his own career, thus deliberately ignoring the fact that there is no substantial evidence to support the allegations.
Through Alain’s life, this film emphatically depicts key parts of the Outreau scandal, which began in 2001. Thirteen people were ultimately acquitted, after some had spent months or years in pretrial detention.
Day 15: La Ligne droite (The Straight Line)
Directed by: Régis Wargnier Written by: Régis Wargnier, Edwin Kruger

Day 17: Vilaine – Ugly Melanie

Year: 2008
We are always taught that kindness will produce kindness right? Unfortunately, for Melanie, she thinks that her excessive kindness has been the cause of all the humiliations and abuse in her life. All the people in her life take advantage of her being too nice. Her mother, boss, friends, neighbor, and even her neighbor’s dog… they all think she can and will always be the ‘nice Melanie’.

Directed and written by: Laure Charpentier
Year: 2010
A film dedicated to gays particularly to lesbians, “Gigola” is about George (Lou Doillon), a teenage girl who falls in love with her school mistress. She is from a Catholic family (which might give you as early as now a vision on how hard it could be for her family to accept her sexual orientation). Anyway, George becomes extremely devastated when her lover dies, and starts to embark on a life of hasty yet exciting adventures to the depths of the Parisian lesbian underworld life.
From spending time with an older but very attractive and wealthy Odette, George starts to be a Gigola. By being a Gigola – counterpart of gigolo – she offers companionship and sexual favours in return for money, gifts, and other luxuries in life.

Although he is already engaged to be married, he sees himself falling in love with Claire’s knee.
He is not really interested in Claire, but cannot stop thinking of caressing her knee. Realizing that his obsession can ruin his reputation, he tries with all his might to repress this fetish. Eventually, he sees an opportunity to fulfill this desire without looking like a pervert, but how long will he be able to stand this repressed unacceptable fetishism? “Le Genou de Claire” talks about the moral behind sexual deviancy which might sound obscure and not harmful but is still unacceptable in the eyes of the society.

How will you feel when you are confronted by your own cancer? This hilarious black comedy film by Bertrand Blier is comprised of sadness, black humor, comedy, and a realization about life plus an ever-annoying cancer.

It is now up to Serge, on how he will collect all the documents needed from his work while riding his old Münch ‘Mammut’.
Day 23: Van Gogh
Directed and written by: Maurice Pialat
Year: 1991
For more than two and a half hours, you will see Pialat’s examination of the last 67 days in the life of Van Gogh, a major Post-Impressionist and influential figure in modern art. The film is noted for its simplistic approach to Van Gogh’s life. In short, it is illustrated as naturally as it could be. The film omits many of the most famous incidents in Van Gogh’s life and focuses on his various relationships and declining mental state.
The film starts in the late spring of 1890 in Auvers-sur-Oise. Van Gogh moves here under the care of Dr. Gachet and lives in a small inn. For 67 days, he lives a common life of a painter with difficult relationships with his brother Theo, Theo’s wife Johanna, their son, Gachet’s daughter Marguerite, pimps and prostitutes, and other little acquaintances till the day of his death.

Directed and written by: Emmanuel Mouret
Year: 2007 (French release)
What can a single kiss do to change another’s life? This is the center of the story “Shall We Kiss”.

At the end of the night, Emilie refuses to kiss Gabriel after dinner together, believing that one, single kiss can change their lives.

Day 26: Avenue Montaigne (Orchestra Seats)
Directed by: Danièle Thompson Written by: Christopher Thompson & Danièle Thompson
Year: 2006
A young ambitious woman arrives in Paris where she finds a job as a waitress in the last old-fashioned café on Avenue Montaigne. This café caters to the elites of the Paris Theater while they are preparing for the biggest night of the year – with a play, a concert, and an art auction on the same night.
Here, she meets a pianist, a famous actress and a great art collector who show her the imperfection of the luxurious life that they have. As she spends time with these people, she will see more of the real world of flux and unhappiness that the world of the elites of the Paris Theater tries to hide.
Day 27: L’Armée Des Ombres (Army of Shadows)
Directed and written by: Jean-Pierre Melville
In this account of the underground resistance fighters during the time of the Nazi occupation in France, it depicts a “shadow army” who risk their lives to resist the German occupation. The movie is adapted from Joseph Kessel’s book of the same name which was released in 1943. It speaks of Kessel’s own experiences as a member of the French Resistance with additional fictionalized versions of other Resistance fighters he met.
It shows how they move between safe houses, kill informers, work under Allied militaries, and evade arrest and execution. There are also moments of fear, solitude, and cruelty or sometimes inhuman choices they have to make in order to survive.
“L’Armée Des Ombres” differentiates itself from other French Resistance Movies by picturing an un-Romantic face of the period without the romance and thorough emphasis on heroism –though you will still see that the main character is the hero of the story.
Day 28: Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky
Directed by: Jan Kounen Written by: Carlo de Boutiny, Jan Kounen, Chris Greenhalgh
Year: 2009
“Coco Chanel and Igor Stravinsky” is about the rumoured affair between Coco and Igor which was first fictionalized in Chris Greenhalgh’s novel ‘Coco and Igor’ in 2002. In Paris, circa 1913, Coco Chanel attends the premiere of Igor Stravinsky’s ‘The Rite of Spring’. She becomes mesmerized with the revolutionary and modern work of Igor, matching her own radicalism and ideals to democratize women’s fashion.
Seven years later, they meet again, but now Igor is penniless and living in exile after the Russian Revolution. The attraction between them is electric. She offers her villa in Garches to Stravinsky for him to continue his work and provide a roof to his family. This is then the start of a passionate, intense love affair between these two creative giants.
Day 29: Les beaux gosses The French Kissers (2009)
Directed by: Riad Sattouf Written by: Riad Sattouf, Marc Syrigas
Year: 2009
Puberty life! How hard it is to fit in a life between not young anymore and not yet old enough? Les Beaux Gosses is a tale about an adolescent boy and his efforts to fit in amongst the social circles around him. As Hervé struggles with social awkwardness and is nothing but an average school boy, he suffers from rejection after rejection from girls. One day, he receives a favorable response from Aurore without knowing that she will just break his heart in the end.
With Aurore by his side, he starts to feel how it is to fit in, but finds himself in a more complicated series of being an adolescent. This movie is fun and radical in a sense of its attempt to show even the most private things that an experimental adolescent guy would do, but it is not really recommendable for family time, most of all with kids around.
Day 30: Les Demoiselles de Rochefort
Directed and written by: Jacques Demy
Year: 1967
Delphine and Solange are twin sisters living in Rochefort. Delphine is a dance teacher, while Solange is a pianist and a composer. The two ladies have a big dream in the world of music.

Conclusion
How uninviting rainy weather is for outdoor activities, right? However, I do believe that at this time of the year, rainy and chilly days do not mean boring days; rather, they pave the way for more indoor experiences and French activities.
Watching movies is a great way to endure the boredom, learn and practice your French, and savour the unique experience of a rainy day.
