Description Each chapter of the book is devoted to a single movie and includes aids for students watching the film, discussing and writing about the film, and understanding the film in a broader cultural context. Each chapter contains vocabulary helpful to understanding and discussing the film, structured exercises in understanding the film once it has been viewed—especially for discussion in class—and an accompanying reading for each film designed to provide perspective on the film itself. This best-selling textbook, by author Anne-Christine Rice, continues to define language learning through film.

Of the second edtion: La première édition de Cinema for French Conversation a facilité considérablement la préparation de mes cours. Elle a de surcroît reçu un accueil chaleureux de la part de mes étudients qui se sont entièrment investis dans l’étude des films et à travers eux de la France. Avec une sélection actualisée de la production cinématographique française, je suis sûr que la seconde édition sera non seulement l’instrument parfait pour initier et diriger les discussions en classe, mais encore une présentation originale et attrayante de la société, de l’histoire et de la culture françaises. ~ Florian Vauléon, Ohio State University, The French Review, April 2004
I have used the second edition of this book, and it made it very easy to plan lessons, and teach the class. It has been a big success. The students LOVE the class and the text. They say that their ability to speak French and understand French culture/history improved immensely |over the course of the class.
