French film
Movie from France
French film refers to cinema produced in France, known for its artistic ambition and influence on film theory.
The term often evokes art house aesthetics, philosophical themes, and movements like the New Wave: She's really into French film.
It can also describe the stereotypical style—moody, talky, sexually frank—whether or not the film is actually French: It felt like a French film, all cigarettes and existential dread.
