This post comes to you live from Paris. Instead of relaxing with a glass of wine at a chic little bistro in St Germain, I'm wrestling with a foreign keyboard in an internet cafe. Blogging, it's like an addiction. And, having seen Point Blank (A Bout Portant) this week, I'm half expecting to witness a police chase through the Metro. If you're planning a trip to the cinema this weekend, Point Blank is the best film I've seen all year. An action-packed French thriller (not to be confused with the late 1960s John Boorman film of the same name), an adrenalin-fuelled-90-minute-rush through the French capital.
Another French film I can't wait to see is Potiche with Catherine Deneuve, though I'm told that Deneuve is more popular in England than over here- where Isabelles Adjani and Huppert reign.
On-going research into the secret of French style will involve taking Les Vélib over to Merci:
That's not me, it's Marie France Cohen the lifestyle store's owner. Followed by a trip to the Musée Bourdelle to see the Madame Gres exhibition. Whilst I teeter on the brink of a Blogger Breakdown, Mr That's Not My Age is entering into the spirit by sporting his birthday scarf - I said scarf! Ah well, at least we have Ines de la Fressange as our tour guide.

Oh, the envy! It sounds like a fabulous weekend.
Ooh Paris, you lucky girl! Now. Step. Away. From. The. Computer. ;) x
We loved Potiche -- we'd seen her earlier in Les Yeux de sa Mè at the wonderful La Pagode theatre in St. Germain.
I know you're going to love the Grès exhibit -- looking forward to reading your impressions.
Gotta love Paris, without a doubt the most beautiful city in the world (my opinion)!
love paris too--so jealous--but enjoy every minute! And the book is on my to read list~Paula
Have a brilliant time in Paris. Hope the weather's better than here.
I love French cinema so will definitely check these out. Enjoy yourself xx
So jealous.. hope you, Mr TNMA and Ines have a wonderful weekend en Paris! Enjoy, enjoy! X
You are right, Catherine Deneuve is not our favorite actress. Isabelle Huppert is great and you would adore Fanny Ardant, she's fabulous ! Have a nice stay in Paris (despite the weather) !
Lucky you! I really enjoyed Potiche ...
