French arthouse movies

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Does anyone know the names of any black and white french art house movies. My mate is putting on a club night and wants to have some art house visuals projected onto the wall. The more people sit around tables smoking and being existential the better. It goes without saying that there should b tits and muff in it too. Thanks!

Why don't you just put 'Allo 'Allo on and turn the colour right down?

I was gonna put up a thread t'uther day requesting decent French film recommendations from the last three decades in the mould of:

Three Colours Triology
Betty Blue
Subway
Diva
Tell No One
That one about a couple who get video's of their house sent to them by some disgruntled chap with middle eastern or north African roots - quite recent flick, can't remember the name.

Don't mean to hijack the thread but if anyone's got any recommendations - and none of that black and white crap!

I loved this film...

Delicatessen (1991)

and this one...

Manon of the Spring (1986)

(off the top of my head)

Is that for Cheeky?

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Either really. I think Delicatessen would make a good back drop.

I've got all of them, and the one you describe (with the horrific scene in his flat).
Edit: It's called "Hidden" ("Caché" in French)

Top stuff.

And I challenge any bloke not to get a right stonk on after watching the opening scenes of Betty Blue.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

It's 'modern' arthouse, but not black and white.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Yes that's the one Sim. Delicatessen - done, will check out 'Manon.' Also need to get my chops on 'I've Loved You So Long' and 'Paris'

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Manon Des Sources - would be good if you could transfer into black and white.

You get to see Emmanuelle Beart in the nude.

 

[The Large One]

Eyes Without a Face (1960)

aka Les Yeux Sans Visage

 

[aftershavedave]

try either of these for modern french classics:

a l'origine

il y a des jours....et des lunes

 

[borat]

Its a 1990's film but shot in black and white - La Haine. Great film

 

[Simster]

I also have "I've loved You So Long". Great film, featuring Kristin Scott Thomas as a French sister. I was amused to see the way they explained away her English accent as someone who was sent to England when she was younger. That didn't really wash, but as I say, another good film.

I finally got round to watching that last night, that film is brilliant
