The university’s French and cinema programs have joined forces to present the second part of the fourth annual Fox French Film Festival this Friday, March 6, in Hoover 105.
Opening the night will be the classic comedy La Grande Vadrouille (Don’t Look Now – We’re Being Shot At). This is a beloved movie in France, where it remained the top-grossing film for more than 30 years. The story takes place during WWII, when the crew of a British bomber is forced to parachute over Paris. Two Frenchmen are involved against their will in the crew’s journey south and their attempt to cross into the free zone, the part of France not occupied by the Germans. The trip provides many opportunities for danger, hilarious situations and misunderstandings. It shows at 7 p.m.
Immediately following, at 9 p.m., Le Hérisson (The Hedgehog) will be featured. This very French, life-affirming film explores the unlikely friendship between a precocious 11-year-old determined to end her life on her 12th birthday and the gruff super of the Parisian building in which her family lives. The young girl discovers that life itself holds secrets if one risks connecting with another … even if that person has a harsh, gruff exterior. This terrifically entertaining movie plays with darkness, light and grace.
Filmgoers will also have the chance to indulge in crêpes and other French fare during the intermission for free between the shows.
