Description

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

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!

Let's not be too snobby about this. It's a good Level-1 exercise

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 ?

This is the exception that proves the rule. The language is formal, but the intimate style and rapid delivery make it Level-2
