On Monday evening (29 January), the Modern Languages department welcomed GCSE and A Level linguists for a multilingual cinema night after school. After a hot supper in the modern languages corridor, pupils could enjoy one of four recent releases in French, German, Italian, or Spanish. Here are some comments from our Upper Eighth linguists about the films.
Leo (Upper Eighth) enjoyed 2023 Palme d’Or winner Anatomie d’une chute: ‘Le film explore la dure réalité de la vie avec une touche d’humour, amplifiée par la performance hyper naturaliste de Sandra Huller.’
Aidan (Upper Eighth): ‘Als wir träumten (As We Were Dreaming) detailed the lives of five youths entering their prime just as Germany reunified after the fall of the Berlin Wall. I found the visual effects and techno music very striking, especially contrasted with the more tender moments towards the end of the film.’
Niko (Upper Eighth) watched Emanuele Crialese’s 2022 film L’immensità: ‘Il film analizza attentamente diversi temi delicati, con la consueta eleganza e bravura cinematografica di Crialese. Anche se a volte la trama è difficile da seguire, il film riesce a bilanciare bene temi seri con un umorismo spensierato.’
Daniel (Upper Eighth): ‘Miramos una película que se llama ‘La Isla Mínima’, una película de detectives tratando de desatar la desaparencia de dos chicas adolescents. Es una película escalofriante, tenebroso y emocionante, que permanece en la mente después de acabarse.’
