Our
"cine-club"
In February of 2008, l’Alliance Française de San Diego began a bimonthly ciné club at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center, 4126 Executive Drive, La Jolla, CA that presents some of the best comedy, drama, and documentary films of French cinema. Our purpose is to provide a venue for classic and contemporary films in French to the French-speaking community of San Diego. These films are free of charge to members of l’Alliance. For friends and non-members, we kindly ask for a donation to l’Alliance that will help defray costs associated with all our programs. Venez nombreux et fêtez le cinéma!

"Priceless"
by Pierre Salvadori with Gad Elmaleh
and Audrey Tautou
Hillcrest
Cinema
In French with English subtitles
Jean (Gad Elmaleh), a shy young bartender,
is mistaken for a millionaire by a beautiful
seductress named Irene (Audrey Tautou,
Amélie). When Irene discovers
his true identity, she abandons him,
only to find that a love-struck Jean
has no intention of letting her get
away. Jean's comical attempts to gain
her affections gradually evolve into
setting himself up as a gigolo at a
luxury hotel, until Irene finally starts
to warm to her persistent, persuasive
suitor. Against the wildly atmospheric
backdrop of the south of France, Pierre
Salvadori (Après Vous) directs
this sexy and thoroughly charming romantic
comedy, which is a fresh re-imagining
of the cinema classic Breakfast at Tiffany's
"Roman
de Gare" by Claude Lelouch with
Fanny Ardant
Hillcrest
Cinema
In French with English subtitles
In the still of the night, three lives
are about to cross…a woman abandoned,
a stranger awaiting his chance and a
best-selling author who imagines the
thriller of the year. Deceptively layered
and intriguingly misleading, this highly
anticipated new feature from writer/director
Claude Lelouch (Oscar winner for A Man
and a Woman) stars Dominique Pinon and
Fanny Ardant as an unlikely couple caught
up in a game with high stakes—and
deadly consequences. The thriller takes
its title from the name given to pulp
fictions sold in French train stations.
Co-starring Audrey Dana
