French Movies
French cinema invented the movies and has never stopped reinventing them. From the Lumière brothers to Jean Vigo, from Jean Cocteau to Truffaut, France has turned the screen into a place of poetry, freedom and new ways of looking at the world.
Here you will find a selection of French movies to stream: from the poetic visions of Jean Vigo to the freedom of François Truffaut, up to recent works. There is avant-garde and experimentation, love outside the rules, rebellious youth, stories born on the edge of reality.
It is a cinema that puts the author's gaze and life as it is at the centre, unafraid of ambiguity. A selection for those who love films that speak softly and stay with you for a long time.
