The Alliance Francaise of NW CT in collaboration with The Brookfield Library has scheduled a monthly showing of a French film with English sub-titles.  Listening to the French (while watching the subtitles) is another great way to practice and train your ear to the French language.

On Sunday, February 28, 2016 at 1:00-4:00 pm the film will be Manon des Sources a 1986 French period film directed by Claude Berri, based on a novel by Marcel Pagnol. The film  is the sequel to Jean de Florette and takes place in rural Provence. Manon (Emmanuelle Béart), a beautiful shepherdess in Provence, France, has lost her father and seen her family’s livelihood ruined through the greediness of her neighbors: Ugolin (Daniel Auteuil) and his grandfather, Cesar (Yves Montand). Now grown and living in isolation from the village, she plots revenge against the men for their misdeeds. Her plot is complicated by Ugolin, who has fallen in love with her — but Manon’s retribution will not be deterred. The film stars Yves Montand, in one of the last roles before his death.
