Each year the Alliance Française in Atlanta hosts a Festival which celebrates the French language and culture. Tuesday night we attended a (free) movie and reception night at their home-base in Colony Square.
The movie we saw was a Quebecois film called “Incendies” – I didn’t expect it to be so intense! It was very interesting, well shot, and had strong actors. The story was eye-opening and heartbreaking at the same time.
Check out the trailer and see for yourself – it could be worth renting/borrowing from Netflix. (The movie is in French / Arabic with English subtitles)
