French Films & Gaspard Ulliel


My love affair with French films started out with the lovely and passionate La Princesse de Montpensier (The Princess of Montpensier).

Through that amazing periodic piece film, I fell headlong in love with the extraordinarily beautiful and dashing Gaspard Ulliel:



My obsession led me to a viewing spree of Gaspard Ulliel's works, and in the process discovered the astoundingly adventurous and creative French film industry. My favourites aside from La Princesse de Montpensier have been the moving Les Choristes and utterly charming A Very Long Engagement (in which Ulliel's parts were amazing but far too brief)

This fantastic scene from A Very Long Engagement played a crucial part telling the love story of Mathilde and Manech, but this image showcases mindblowing cinematography which earned the film an Oscar nomination for Best Cinematography:
