Welcome to Foreign film February! This month we will explore some of the foreign films of New World Pictures! FFF, as it’s affectionately known, starts off with A LOT of heart (maybe even a little too much heart) with the tragic STORY OF ADELE H directed by Francois Truffaut. Set in 1863 – oh la la mon ami a period piece – we follow a young woman (Isabelle Adjani, POSSESSION) in her absolute QUEST in pursuit of her love interest Lieutenant Pinson (Bruce Robinson, director of WITHNAIL AND I). Using a fake identity, and the power of the pen, she tries to win Pinson’s heart the old fashioned way, through love letters, stalking, hypnosis, and, of course, moving to Barbados!

(If you couldn’t tell already, Erica once studied French so naturally this film was juste dans son allée!)

Listen in as we talk about how little Erica, the self proclaimed Francophile, actually knows about who Adele H really is. Let Marc’s thoughts on hypnosis mesmerize you, and we know we aren’t at final questions yet, but you know that we asked them. Foreign Film February may be the shortest month of the year, but trust us when we say, the films have never felt longer.
