The university’s French and cinema programs have joined forces to present the second Fox French Film Festival on concurrent Fridays, April 5 and April 12.
Opening the festival will be The Intouchables, an irreverent, witty comedy about a paraplegic millionaire who hires a kid from the projects to be his caretaker. The film, which Claudia Puig calls an “exuberantly charming French buddy comedy,” is among the most successful French films in history. It shows at 7 p.m. tonight.
Also tonight, at 9 p.m., The Artist will be featured. The Artist, a modern silent that swept the Oscars last year, follows the rise and fall of a pair of actors during the transition to the Talkies.
Filmgoers will also have the chance to indulge in crepes and other French fare during the intermission between the shows. Both movies will show at the same times on the two Fridays. They will be in EHS 102 and are open to the public.
