Le Week-end
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.
ReplyDeleteOoh Paris, you lucky girl! Now. Step. Away. From. The. Computer. ;) x
ReplyDeleteWe loved Potiche -- we'd seen her earlier in Les Yeux de sa Mè at the wonderful La Pagode theatre in St. Germain.
ReplyDeleteI 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)!
ReplyDeletelove paris too--so jealous--but enjoy every minute! And the book is on my to read list~Paula
ReplyDeleteHave a brilliant time in Paris. Hope the weather's better than here.
ReplyDeleteI 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
ReplyDeleteYou 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) !
ReplyDeleteLucky you! I really enjoyed Potiche ...
