Le Cinéma

I have been a devoteé of French cinema lately. Just trying to catch up with what I've missed, retracing some old ground as well.

And it's striking; apparently in French cinema, the idea of a middle aged man's romantic involvement with a high school aged girl is apparently considered enough of a plot in itself to be the basis of a whole movie.

There need be no more than that.

Not only can that be a whole movie, it's one out of every two French movies.

That's it. Apparently the whole movie-going French public will watch endless permutations of the subject.
