French Film Festival UK 2022 at the Institut Français

Inexcusable of me not to have put this post up earlier, given what an excellent opportunity to #BeMoreFrench this festival offers every year. The reason I didn’t get this up in good time is that this year’s programme of films is so bloody good, that I became overwhelmed with choice and possibilities and ended up booking … nothing. Posting … nothing. It all got very Samuel Beckett round these parts (and not in a good way).

I was very interested in watching Depardieu take on the role of Maigret (Wednesday 9th and Saturday 12th November).

And I was considering bunking off my weekly French lesson (on Tuesday 8th November) to go and see Charlotte Gainsbourg on the screen and on the stage. She’s doing a Q and A on Jane by Charlotte, which she directed, and then introducing The Passengers of the Night in which she stars.

But these weren’t the only three films I wanted to see! Counting quickly, I think there are 29 films in this programme, and I kind of want to see … all of them. This is literally what it means to be spoilt for choice.

Don’t be an indecisive idiot like my good self! Scour the programme to find screenings that work for you and book, before all the tickets go!
