The Film Festival starts again this year from June 24th to 27th. A good opportunity to have fun and go see lots of films for seats at low prices.
I've been missing the film festival for 3 years. So this year, it's decided, sun or not, I'll spend two days in dark rooms! And then the Cannes Film Festival frustrated me so much this year that I have every intention of catching up.
Nothing's easier. You pay for your first cinema ticket at the usual rate, then each additional film will only cost you €2.50. Either for me, at 2 movies a day for four days, I'm ready to save €25 by June 24. After 8 movies, I'll be on the prowl.
What I like about this event is that I feel ready to take all the risks at the film level. At 2€50, I give myself the right to be wrong. Well, I still avoid missing myself 8 times, huh :) The trick is to look at people's faces when leaving theaters...
And then June 24th is a Sunday, so we can't pretend to work and still miss a good opportunity. Hey no! We start on Sunday and if we work on Monday, we go back after work. When you love, you don't count vindiou.
And icing on the cake, the film festival ends on a Wednesday, the day of the premieres, the release of films. So even more choices of films to go see... or see again if we really liked the seagull.
Well I want to warn you, I love cinema but I'm not an expert and my tastes could make many moviegoers laugh... but "menfout", it's 2€50!
- Le Grand Soir, because I'm a big fan of Kerven and Delépine and I won't miss the new one
- Prometheus, because Alien is my entire adolescence and visionary science fiction is my hobby. But not too much is needed.
- Ich bin eine Terroristin, for the cartharsic side of my revolutionary ego but also because it certainly can't hurt my political-historical culture.
- Farewell Berte, to laugh "a little madly" and because I love Valérie Lemercier as much as Denis Podalydès.
- Starbuck, because the summary appeals to me:"As he prepares to be a father, David Wosniak, eternal adolescent of 42, discovers that he is the anonymous parent of 533 children determined to find him." (released June 27)
- Wrong, because it looks completely crazy and quirky while being full of poetry. The mix appeals to me. (released June 27)
- Good and then like every film festival, I'm going to have a hard time choosing. Hoping that "On the Road", "Moonrise Kingdom", "De Rouille et d'os" and many others are still playing. Come on, let's remember that "To choose is to renounce" wrote André Gide.
And you, what movies are you going to see? Let's share our program together in the comments.
