☞THE MOVIE:
Embarking on an Arctic expedition, sleeping on an ice floe, wrestling a bear – just a day in the life of the researcher and polar expert Coline Morel. One day, she shows up unannounced in her home village in the Jura mountains to visit her brothers Basile and Lolo, whom she has not seen for years. While there, she unexpectedly encounters her first love, Christophe, learns that she has been fired and is dumped by her boyfriend. Confused and unable to reveal the true reason for her return, Coline spirals out of control and, in a night of unhinged excess, ends up causing utter chaos in the village. The days pass and the former adventurer slowly withdraws into complete silence. Then, after a hike with her brothers, Coline vanishes without a trace, taking her secret with her into the snow-covered expanses of Greenland. As the Inuit proverb says: If you are afraid, change your way. Ultimately, this journey will turn out to be the most important of her life.
Lost in Frenchlation is truly excited to play a role in bringing you this rare opportunity to experience yet another aspect of Paris’ rich cinema culture. We hope that you’ll join us to experience the Champs-Elysées Film Festival with the Lost in Frenchlation touch – it will be an evening you won’t forget!

Daguerréotypes is not a film about the Rue Daguerre (a picturesque street in the fourteenth district of Paris where I live), it is a film about one block of that street (between the number 70 and the number 90). This is not an inquiry nor a sociological study of the inhabitants.
“Daguerreotypes” is Miss Varda’s beautiful homage to Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre, a pioneer in the history of photography. Strictly speaking, the form here is documentary, but the film is more important as a witty, very humane appreciation of Miss Varda’s friends and neighbors on a short section of the Rue Daguerre, a lively street of small shops in Paris’s 14th Arrondissement, which borders Montparnasse – New York TimesWatch the trailer with English Subtitles: https://youtu.be/5iaIge_aVHk?si=Q-da_oUop3rZ_IJI

“Twins Delphine and Solange, a dance instructor and a music teacher (played by real-life sisters Catherine Deneuve and Françoise Dorléac), long for big-city life; when a fair comes through their quiet port town, so does the possibility of escape. With its jazzy Michel Legrand score, pastel paradise of costumes, and divine supporting cast (George Chakiris, Grover Dale, Danielle Darrieux, Michel Piccoli, and Gene Kelly), The Young Girls of Rochefort is a tribute to Hollywood optimism from sixties French cinema’s preeminent dreamer.” – Synopsis
“Jacques Demy, writer-director, and Michel Legrand, composer, who did the successful musical The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, reunite for a more ambitious pic that adds dance to a tale of small-town life. It has charm, sustained human observation, mixed with catchy music, dances and songs to come up as a tuner with grace and dynamism.” – Variety
