The French Film Festival returns to Malaysian screens this month, bringing stories of revolution, romance, childhood, fantasy - and even a certain mischievous yellow creature along for the ride.
Now in its 24th edition, the festival brings together major new releases with older favourites, offering audiences a broad taste of what French cinema has to offer. This year's event will run from Nov 19 to Dec 6, with 10 films screening across Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor Bahru and Kuching.
Among contemporary titles are "Les Misérables", "The Phantom of the Opera", "The Electric Kiss", "Just an Illusion", "Marsupilami" and the animated "Arco".
