Jeux d’enfants (2003)

Also know as “Love Me If You Dare”. Wonderful french film with actors like Guillaume Canet and Marion Cotillard. The story is pretty simple;

Plot:

As adults, best friends Julien and Sophie continue the odd game they started as children — a fearless competition to outdo one another with daring and outrageous stunts. While they often act out to relieve one another’s pain, their game might be a way to avoid the fact that they are truly meant for one another.

However, if you like being alternately surprised, delighted and haunted by a unique film and wonderful soundtrack - check this one out.

La vérité (1960)

Also know as (The Truth). Brigitte Bardot at her best! I love this movie, from beginning to end, it keeps your attention and never gets boring. Bardot is so beautiful, even nowadays i dont think anyone has nearly the same charisma.

“Suppose I’m a tramp… why can’t I be in love?

Plot:

Dominique Marceau is a pretty young girl eager to leave her parents home and live with her sister in Paris. Other than her, Dominique is living out her lust for life, hanging around with friends, with parties, drinking and casual affairs.

Dominique Marceau is on trial for the murder of Gilbert Tellier. The counsels duel relentlessly, elaborating explanations for why the pretty, idle and fickle girl killed the talented and ambitious conductor freshly graduated from the conservatory. Was it passion, vengeance, desperation, an accident? The acquaintances of Gilbert testify, as well as Dominique’s former lovers, and her sister, Annie, the studious violin player engaged to Gilbert. The evidence they give progressively paints a more finely-shaded picture of the personalities of Dominique and Gilbert, and of their relationship, than the eloquent and convincing justifications of the counsels.
