Last week, I watched a French comedic movie "Zazie in the Metro" in Waseda Shochiku Theater, Takadanobaba. The theater is a little different from the usual theater. Not new but good movies are put on the screen and they are showed as the double bill. I like the theater because I can watch an unique movie whenever I go.
From 22nd October to 28th October, "Zazie in the Metro" and "Elevator to the Gallows" are showed there.
The movies were directed by a famous French director, Louis Malle. I was so impressed in "Zazie in the Metro" because it was so good, so cute and fantastic! The image is the DVD's cover taken from the Amazon site.
It was first put on the screen in 1960. The name of the main character is Zazie. She is a little girl living in the country. She is talkative and mischievous. She came to Paris with her mother but Zazie was left with her mother's brother there because her mother meet her new boyfriend. All Zazie want to do in Paris was to get into the Metro but it was on strike so she walks around the station and meet many funny people. It is very unique and happy so I think everyone must be happy after watching the movie.
I found from the old movie that really good movies are really good movies whenever we watch them. I want to look for such really good movies as long as possible! Do you know such an old good movie?

I also want to try the movie. I thought all French movies are really dark but this movie doesn`t seem so. Is it a kind of animation? I haven`t watched French comedy so am really interested in it!!
ReplyDeleteWell, I always watch American or English movies. As for old films, I like Marilyn Monroe`s ones the best. They are really exciting and Marilyn was very cute!! I hope I can find some interesting French films at central building of Gakushuin :)
See you on Monday!!
Hope you`ll recover from your illness soon!!

ReplyDeleteIt is not an animation movie but a funtastic movie.
Thank you for worrying about my sick. There's a lot of flu about, isn't it? Be careful!
Hoh Saito,
I always watch American movies too. It is because I think watching an English movie makes my English ability improve.
ReplyDeleteBut there are a lot of movies beside English movies in the world. I would like to try them in order to just enjoy good movies.
Actually I was looking for a good comedy movie. So thank you for a good recommendation. I will try "Zazie in the Metro." Then I'm intrested in Waseda Shouchiku Theater.
