VO

Version Originale.

Just went to see the Prince of Persia with my son Teo who is thirteen. There are many things I love about the cinema. The primary thing being that they show all Anglophone films in English with French subtitles. It feels sooooo good sometimes to go into a dark room and hear nothing but English for two hours.

I love that they sell beer in the cinema and all kinds of food.

I love, love, love sugared popcorn! They have salted as well and there is nothing more delicious than a large popcorn half sugar half salt.

Deaf people go to the VO films so that they can read the subtitles. Cool. Nice for them.

I love that every time I watch the trailers, Gerard Depardieu is in a film. That guy is in every French film and tons of American films as well.

(I just looked Gerard up on imdb.com, he has done 183 films in 40 years. Egads! Well, no wonder.)

You should see him in Mesrine Killer Instinct. A true story about a 70’s French gangster who wreaked havoc in Canada as well. Vincent Cassel won the Palm d’Or Best Actor for the film. An incredible actor. So many great French actors. I love that too!

To sum today’s blog up, “Vivre VO!”

A demain.
