    Tuesday Online French - English Conversation Group

    There is no better way to practice your foreign language than by conversing with native speakers, and WICE can help you do just that.

    We meet online (Zoom) every Tuesday. Participants are divided into small groups of 5-6 members. We converse 45 minutes in French and 45 minutes in English. Conversations are free-form and address topics of interest to the individual group members.

    The group is open to WICE members at all language levels. However, to get the most out of the conversations, an intermediate level in both languages is helpful. 

    Participation is free for WICE members.

    To participate, contact Mike Franks at: mike.franks@wice-paris.org.

    Notre voyage à travers la France du XVIe siècle commence avec l’ouvrage de Simone Bertière, *Le Beau XVIe siècle*, où nous explorerons la vie, la personnalité et l’influence des reines au cœur de la monarchie française. Nous poursuivrons ensuite avec son deuxième volume, *Les Années sanglantes*, en suivant ces femmes remarquables à travers une époque de plus en plus tumultueuse, marquée par les conflits religieux, les intrigues politiques et les luttes dynastiques.

    La lecture et les discussions se dérouleront en français, ce qui vous permettra de vous plonger dans le texte tout en pratiquant et en appréciant la conversation en français.

    Préparez-vous à discuter les 25 premiers pages jusqu'a la fin de "metier de reine."  Lors de cette première réunion, nous fixerons ensemble un objectif en nombre de pages pour les réunions suivantes.

    Pour toute question, veuillez contacter Mary-Jo Reef: maryjo@wice-paris.org.

    Our journey through sixteenth-century France begins with Simone Bertière's Le Beau XVIe siècle where we will explore the lives, personalities, and influence of the queens at the heart of the French monarchy. We will then continue with her second volume, Les Années sanglantes, as we follow these remarkable women through an increasingly turbulent era marked by religious conflict, political intrigue, and dynastic struggle. 

    Both the reading and discussion will be in French, creating an opportunity to engage with the text while practicing and enjoying conversation in French.

    Come prepared to discuss the first 25 pages, up to the end of "metier de reine." During this first meeting, together we will set page goals for subsequent meetings.

    COURSE DESCRIPTION: For this advanced French course, you will watch a film at home (available on Netflix, Amazon Prime, Canal Plus, Orange, YouTube and other platforms) before a lively and engaging discussion in class. Each month a new film provides a basis for an immersive lesson with authentic spoken language and cultural reference points. If you love movies, there’s no more enjoyable way to increase vocabulary, improve conversational skills, and deepen your understanding of French cinema and culture. 

    Each discussion will focus on analyzing the film from different angles:

    • Creation; production; and reception, both critical and commercial
    • Screenplay, direction, and artistic collaborations such as script, cinematography, acting, and music
    • Specific features in the director's filmography and its place in the French cinema of his/her era.

    Trimestre d'automne: Danielle Darrieux, une actrice dans un siècle

    Ses initiales DD ont été célèbres avant celles de BB. Danielle Darrieux (1917-2017) est décédée à 100 ans, après avoir tourné avec les plus grands cinéastes. Elle débute en 1931, à l’âge de 14 ans, et capte la lumière en incarnant la jeune femme moderne du cinéma français. En 1936, elle devient une star internationale avec Mayerling. Hollywood lui ouvre ses portes. Elle devient alors la plus populaire des actrices françaises et un modèle féminin. Dans les années 50, elle triomphe aux côtés de Gérard Philipe, Jean Gabin ou Jean Marais. Elle devient la muse de Max Ophüls. En 1967, Jacques Demy la choisit pour Les Demoiselles de Rochefort. En 2002, François Ozon la dirige dans 8 femmes. Ingénue, libre, inventant un ton et un style sans pareils, Danielle Darrieux incarne la femme française moderne et libre. Parcours en 3 films emblématiques dont le point commun est les années 50, une décennie de reconstruction de la France, où la femme est encore enfermée dans des rôles traditionnels, que Darrieux incarne et transcende par son jeu d’une éclatante modernité. 

    Madame de (1953) de Max Ophuls

    Avec DD, Vittorio de Sica, Charles Boyer

    Une histoire prétexte de boucles d’oreilles en forme de cœur qui circulent de mains en mains et de capitale  en capitale, pour raconter le destin tragique d’une grande bourgeoise succombant à la passion. La mise en scène totalement virtuose de Max Ophüls, le style de jeu de Danielle Darrieux nous entraînent dans une valse étourdissante et intemporelle. Un des trois films du duo Darrieux - Ophüls.

    La Vérité sur Bébé Donge (1952) de Henri Decoin

    D’après Georges Simenon, avec DD, Jean Gabin

    François Donge, riche industriel, a épousé Elisabeth d’Onneville surnommée «Bébé ». Sentimentalement déçue, incomprise de tous, BB empoisonne son mari. Sur son lit de mort, François revoit son passé et comprend ses erreurs.

    Ce film sombre réalisé par le premier mari de Danielle Darrieux rend parfaitement l’univers des romans de Simenon. Ce drame de l’incompréhension, construit en de multiples flash backs, ne juge pas de manière morale l’héroïne, mais montre au contraire la prison patriarcale dans laquelle la société a tenté de l’enfermer.  Le film est une autopsie du couple bourgeois et porte un message féministe très en avance pour son époque.

    8 femmes (2002) de François Ozon

    Avec DD, Catherine Deneuve, Fanny Ardant, Isabelle Huppert, Emmanuelle Béart, Virginie Ledoyen, Ludivine Sagnier

    Dans les années 50, à l’approche de Noël, la neige tombée en abondance isole une maison familiale dont le propriétaire est retrouvé poignardé. Le coupable est forcément l’une des huit femmes réunies pour les fêtes et prisonnières de la tempête : sa femme, sa sœur, sa belle-sœur, ses deux filles, sa cuisinière, et sa femme de chambre.

    S’inspirant d’un succès du théâtre de boulevard, François Ozon nous propose une comédie grinçante, un sulfureux huis clos au cours duquel les manœuvres les plus basses sont déballées par une famille aux abois. Il offre à ses huit actrices un intermède musical leur permettant de chanter un solo. La mise en scène joue sur le mensonge et les faux semblants. Hommage de François Ozon aux actrices et singulièrement à Danielle Darrieux.

    Course Description

    Discover and discuss masterpieces of American cinema in this class for intermediate and advanced English speakers. You’ll watch a film at home on streaming, or borrow the DVD from your local library, before a lively and engaging discussion in class. You’ll be assigned one scene to watch at least three times! Every month you’ll view a film from an influential director so you’ll come to know the stylistic hallmarks of favorite genres and filmmakers.

    If you love the movies, this course is an enjoyable way to increase vocabulary, get comfortable with idiomatic expressions, improve your conversational skills, and deepen your understanding of American culture and cinema.

    During the Fall 2026 trimester we'll be discussing three independent American films from the 21st century (or close enough):

    1. Fargo, 1996, written and directed by the Coen brothers, starring Frances McDormand, William H. Macy, and Steve Buscemi. A black comedy crime drama that features inky dark humor; stark, snowy winter; and a pregnant police chief who embodies Minnesota nice. 

    "McDormand's uproariously sly-spry performance connects with Roger Deakins' bleakly beautiful photography to create one of the Coens' most consistently successful outings..." -- Mike Clark, USA Today 

    2. Carol, 2016, directed by Todd Haynes, starring Cate Blanchett, Rooney Mara, and Kyle Chandler. In 1950s New York, Therese, a young department store employee, meets Carol who is  seductively older, glamorous, and unhappily married. Complications ensue. 

     "A serious melodrama about the geometry of desire, a dreamy example of heightened reality that fully engages emotions despite the exact calculations with which it's been made... Carol's lush but controlled visual look is completely intoxicating." -- Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

    3. Certain Women, 2016, written and directed by Kelly Reichardt, starring Laura Dern, Kristen Stewart, Michelle Williams, and Lily Gladstone. An anthology of intertwined short stories featuring three different women whose lives are marked by isolation and loneliness.

    Guy Lodge of Variety called Reichardt "the quietest of great American filmmakers." In The Guardian, Nigel M. Smith gave the film 4 out of 5 stars and praised Reichardt as "a master at slow-burning, melanchonic dramas." 

    About the instructor:

    Ellen Feldman grew up in Philadelphia and currently lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts. She holds a Ph.D. in cinema studies from New York University and has taught film studies at the State University of New York, Geneseo campus, and Brooklyn College.
