Pornocracy
Catherine Breillat is best known for her films A Ma Soeur! and Romance. If you're a Breillat fan, you will know that her films portray a world that is more disquieting than reassuring, more intimate than objective and more corporeal than cerebral. You may call yourself a Breillat aficionado, but unless you speak French, you have probably never read her novels.
Etat Libre D'Orange Perfumes
Got a score to settle with your Nan? Need to deodorise your car? Why not get a bottle of Hotel Slut? Etat Libre D'Orange perfumes are either cashed-up punk like Vivienne Westwood, or try-hard punk like Richard Branson when he reminds people how he used to hang out with Malcolm McLaren.
Choose from aromas such as ‘Don't Get Me Wrong Baby, I Don't Swallow' and ‘Jasmine and Cigarette' - which receives the TwoThousand prize for best Frenglish blurb.
Paris
There are only a handful of cities around the world that popular culture won't stop mythologising. Yes, this is yet another film about Paris - but after an opening that looks like a slick travel infotainment show, a TV host asks "Who is Paris?" and immediately flubs his lines.
In PARIS, a charming French bakery is a site of casual, everyday racism.
Reality Check, The Teenagers
The American media only invented "the teenager" as recently as the '50s. Yet those melodramatic, erratic, sexy sexy young thangs have come to TOTALLY take over the world, gripping the global marketplace tighter than Britney's fist on a Chihuahua-laden fluffy pink handbag. OMG!!
Taking our continual fascination and fetishization with teenagers to laughable, logical extremes are Parisian trio The Teenagers.
Lola Et Moi
Lola is a very lucky little girl. She gets to go on trips to France and find all the very best independent designer fashion, accessories, home wares and art that the backstreets of Paris and the French countryside have to offer. And then she comes back to her pretty little store in Australia's nearest equivalent to Paris - Balmain and sells her wares to Sydneysiders who can only dream of living like Lola.
I do
Everyone loves a French film. There’s something about the accent coupled with the anticipation of unexpected nudity that puts even the best of us on the edge of our seats. We can tell you now there’s no nudity in I DO, but there is an awkward scene involving love-toys and leather.
The romantic comedy follows hardened bachelor Luis (Alain Chabat), whose overbearing mother and sisters constantly pester him to find a wife.
Paris, Je T'aime
Anthologies work because they’re so soothing for those with short attention spans. If you don’t like one chunk? Wait a few minutes, and you’ll be watching something else. ‘Paris, je t'aime’ has no less than 18 short films by arthouse directors from around the world, including Gus Van Sant, Tom Twyker, the Coen Brothers, Olivier Assayas, and more.
