Les Revenants.avi Les Revenants.srt Les Revenants.doc Les Revenants.mp3 Les RevenantsMe.mp3 |
Here is Les revenants a film by Robin Campillo which takes the standard horror theme of people coming back from the grave - but here in a society which wants to treat them humanely and decently. A very French preoccupation, and a good film |
 |
Fantômas.avi Fantômas.srt Fantômas.doc Fantômas.mp3 |
This is a Level-3 because of the sound quality which is of its time. It's not too difficult, though. Keep the subtitles switched off at first! |
 |
MonCuré.avi MonCuré.srt MonCuré.doc MonCuré.mp3 |
Let's not be too snobby about this. It's a good Level-1 exercise |
 |
LeBonheur.avi LeBonheur.srt LeBonheur.doc LeBonheur.mp3 |
I quote this because it gives us a chance to exercise our ears on the sort of muttered dialogue that passes for realism nowadays. It's a Level-3, but note that it's very easy to follow. We don't have trouble guessing what's going on, do we ? |
 |
Pompadour.avi Pompadour.srt Pompadour.doc Pompadour.mp3 |
This is the exception that proves the rule. The language is formal, but the intimate style and rapid delivery make it Level-2 |
 |
LeZèbre.avi LeZèbre.srt LeZèbre.doc LeZèbre.mp3 |
Lhermitte's voice is fast, but very clear. Getting used to this rapid delivery is an important step in listening to French. Level-3, obviously |
 |
Meurtre.avi Meurtre.srt Meurtre.doc Meurtre.mp3 |
I'm a sucker for this French-American accent. But the French is nice, and it's clear. An interesting exercise for Level-1 |
 |
PeauD'Ane.avi PeauD'Ane.srt PeauD'Ane.doc PeauD'Ane.mp3 |
The formal, literary register gives us a nice change, and it makes a good Level-1. |
 |
AvocatsEtAssociés.avi AvocatsEtAssociés.srt AvocatsEtAssociés.doc AvocatsEtAssociés.mp3 |
I love the friend of the accused who is
supposed to have a strong working-class accent. In reality we wouldn't
understand one word she says. But you can see the actress
struggling to pronounce each word clearly... Level-1 |
 |
AffaireBeaudry.avi AffaireBeaudry.srt AffaireBeaudry.doc AffaireBeaudry.mp3 |
The voices here are of lawyers and politely-spoken witnesses, so not at all difficult. But the Canadian accent introduces different vowel sounds to which we have to accustom the ear. |
 |
Bimboland.avi Bimboland.srt Bimboland.doc Bimboland.mp3 |
The dialogue is quite fast, but clear. Surprising, because Depardieu is one of the most difficult of French actors to follow. |
 |
Dombais.avi Dombais.srt Dombais.txt Dombais.mp3 |
Very unusual to have a French film at level-1. There are a few difficult moments, but mostly it's fairly clear. |
