![]() ![]() Perhaps like Bordeaux vintages, there are good years and bad, and 2017 was closer to a “drink” than to a “hold” recommendation, with lots of stuff worth forgetting. Such a statement shouldn’t, however, be taken as a general assessment of French film - the so-called French bashing that we and other critics are sometimes accused of. But putting that and a few other movies aside, I really found this year’s output average at best. There are of course some exceptions - such as critical favorite BPM (Beats Per Minute), which looked like a shoo-in for a Foreign Language Oscar nomination until it surprisingly didn’t make the shortlist. Jordan Mintzer: To be perfectly frank (or franc), I feel like 2017 won’t go down as a great year in French cinema.
