French Postcards (1979)
Directed by Willard Huyck
Twitter Facebook Google+Overview
French Postcards rings both comic and true. The believable, fresh-faced characters are young naives from American colleges spending their French-English dictionaries, they compulsively seek out hundreds of monuments, romanticize the nomadic artist’s life, and look for grown-up love. The French tutor them well, as befits their reputation. Jean Rochefort is the harassed headmaster with a hankering for affairs, and Marie-France Pisier is his very sexy wife. Watch for a newcomer named Debra Winger, and another-Mandy Patinkin.

Viewing Notes
Checking out the cinephobe broadcast for the first time.
From the director of MESSIAH OF EVIL and HOWARD THE DUCK, a light romantic comedy where a couple of Americans find love during their exchange program in Paris. This is a good flick that hits all the expected beats for this type of movie. It really walks up to the sex comedy line but never quite gets there.
