French Film Review: Mr. Blake At Your Service!
Mr. Blake At Your Service - It’s a charming film. Malkovich is mesmerising, and both he and Ardant are of course a joy to watch.

Iris and the Men: This film looks to be a winner and many people including myself will see it purely because it stars the charming Laure Calamy (‘Antoinette in the Cévennes’, ‘Call My Agent’).
A film worth watching for a window into French life in the late 1800s – with the rise of feminism, plenty of duelling action, albeit with some old men stuffily pontificating about the world, and there’s a dash of romance as well.
Divertimento: This is a wonderful, heartwarming, and uplifting film, and the two leads are so engaging – well worth your time at this year’s festival.
How Madame Chirac’s plan to upstage her husband unfolds is smart, funny, and surprising. This is a film that sneaks up on you – much better than advertised!
The 75th Cannes Film Festival delivers: Warm breezes, swimming in the Mediterranean, films & glamorous sparkle of celebrity attendance.
OSS 117 films are like a French version of Get Smart or Rowan Atkinson’s Johnny English.
Men On The Verge of A Nervous Breakdown: A mix of hippie therapy & male bonding, not an American film full of stereotypes and clichés.
Velvet Queen is a beautiful exploration of nature in the Tibetan Himalayas, and how humans have polluted the earth.
Intriguing -not usual French film festival fare - no love, no comedic family fights, no social justice issues, and no windows to living a life in Paris.
