問題詳情：

When it comes to romance, no one does it better than the French. This is believed to be true of their movies, too. Unlike the Hollywood blockbusters(大片) you may be used to, French films are “usually a more artistic statement about being in the world”, noted The Guardian.

From Oct 8 to Oct 29, in cooperation with the French embassy(大使館) in China, the China Film Archive and China National Film Museum are presenting classic and critically acclaimed(備受讚譽的) French movies, including Le Havre (2011), Mia et le Migou (2008), and Le Voyage dans la Lune (1902).

Sha Dan, curator(策展人) of the China Film Archive, explained to the media what to expect from the film series, and revealed how first-time viewers can best appreciate French movies. Q: Why should I watch French movies? A: French films have a lot of virtues. For one thing, they use dialogue and plot, instead of visual effects, to drive the story. For another, they stress diversity(多元). While Hollywood movies are often about universal values, French movies have French culture or regional cultures deeply rooted in them. You have to understand them in their cultural context. That’s what sometimes makes French movies difficult to understand. Q: How can a Chinese audience appreciate French movies? A: You need to get used to their way of filming. When shooting two people talking to each other, the traditional way is to film each person face-forward as they take turns speaking. However, French movies are filmed in more experimental ways, like switching from a close shot to a long shot. Also, you should search for background information. The movie’s title and its director can reflect its ideas and storyline. For example, Les Enfants du Paradis (1945), also known as Children of Paradise, tells the story of beautiful Garance and the four men who love her in their own ways. Garance meets these men in a theater, and the “Paradis” in the movie title is an informal French name for a theater’s gallery.
