Full Description
Cinema for French Conversation, Fifth Edition, builds upon the strengths of previous editions of this pioneering textbook by devoting six new chapters to recent award-winning French-language films including La cour de Babel, Fatima, Ce qui nous lie, La famille Bélier, Diplomatie, and Intouchables. Each of the book's eighteen chapters features key vocabulary for viewing its corresponding film, structured post-viewing exercises aimed at facilitating in-class discussion, related readings for each film designed to provide perspective, and much more. A (forthcoming) companion website offers links to film trailers, interviews, and other online resources. A proven aid for cultivating French-language conversation skills at the upper-intermediate and advanced levels, Anne-Christine Rice's classic book yields rich insight into elements of historic and present-day French culture while fostering appreciation for France's renowned septième art itself.
