As an American expat in France for the past 40 years, this film struck many chords. Jean Seberg is amazing, so beautiful and talented, able to 'age' beautifully. it is bittersweet that she died so young. I will remember this film.
Those were times... Good music tracks, in the film. Wasn't born yet, but life seems so much easier back then, I'm very nostalgic ! So slick and classy, too. Good actors, pictures and lighting. The directness of speech without blunt harsh words nor screaming or any violence.👌 Men were gentlemen, at least a majority! My dad, was a great gentleman! 🙏💫 And, other men I knew who lived in that era were very good too. Nowadays, they are very scarce. So many haven't got a clue how to be a proper and responsible kind man. The easy access (without queues of lengthy check points, and questions) of places like clubs, airports, ststions, theatres, etc., gives so much more freedom .. Nowadays, going somewhere or wanting to enter a public place is such a huge hassle, most times... And it takes lots of time.. 😣 😞 Parties with nice people and fun live jazz music, not a crazy DJ putting out strange loud metal sounds. No mobile phones, nor other screens... Those were the days... Life was lived amoungst and with each other. 🙏🙂
1963: Everything seemed nicer and better then. But this was a ruse, a delusion. The war was not over and the Nazi ideology was not defeated. There was the Cold War and the open war had simply been transferred to the Middle East where they made a monstrosity with victims of the natives, namely the Palestinian people. That is why Europe is suffering now and the US empire has collapsed. The film makes reference to the Middle East. The girl returns to Chicago (what a coincidence! and Friedman of neoliberalism the Chicago School of Economics founded which led to the "Shock Doctrine" we "enjoy" so openly now together with Palestinians) to marry the doctor and settle down, ditching the reporter who asked her to wait for him after every trip to Tunisia.. Cairo etc. No answer seems to be given in the film. There could be no answer as long Crime existed and deepened, and now it hovers like a specter again over Europe and the whole planet. Some of us were not even allowed to live in Europe, neither were our parents who were born in the war and died in the war, even though they say there is peace in Europe. We were not allowed to live by those who pretend to be Christians but are Masons ans S&t@nists. Ultimately, the only movies that actually told the truth were the movies that had Satan as their theme.
One of the best movies I've watched in all my life. And I've watched lots of good classic movies. This one is fresh, clean, real. Jean Seberg is a wonderful actress. I wouldn't even call her an actress. She is real, not a character. I'm curious about the director. So french style, just like reality in motion. I'm still astonished.
Have you seen Saving Grace made in 2000, staring Brenda Blethyn Craig Ferguson? It’s a fun flick. I do hope you have fun watching it. Cheers from Australia.
This is my favorite kind of movie. There are women with an on again off again passionate relationship of long duration who come to a moment of reckoning in their lives when a stable, conscientious man loves them enough to want to marry and have a family. Smart choice? Foolish choice? Choose...
Saw her first in Pendulum when I was 15 years old big crush on her ! Very sad to hear on her passing in 1979 if I remember correctly! RIP beautiful lady!
I immediately subscribed to you. Here is intelligence in finding a jewel of a film for us ..How I dream of being there again It wasn’t way back then ..but way back enough ..mid 70’s Babies in tow later , back again then never after, however it is still a vibrant dream Thank you for being here ❤
Yes, I lived there in the early 70s - but was in truth too young - it's a different more limited, less independent experience if one's there when one turns 17.
As teens growing up in the 60's we craved these types of films.. the grass was always greener in the French backyard. We had to seek out the "Art Film Theaters" to enjoy the wonderful filmography, character study and plot. Will never forget seeing Jacques Demy's "Lolita". The first time to see Bardot in "And God created Woman" an I.D. had to be secured for admittance. A lad in line loaned me a duplicate I.D. or I would not have seen it. We talked of the torrid dance scene forever. So great to see the small Coke bottles and the portable battery powered Transistor Radio. Wish the world and film companies hadn't gone woke. So very easy and rewarding to watch the old films.
It is unfortunately too much life Jean Seberg'sreal life in which her head was turned by superficial people and things. A very good and moving film with excellent actors. Her first very youthful boyfriend was a darling !
Brilliant movie, thank you for sharing xx. I found it sad when Christina ditches her Dad to follow a Loser so glad though his wise words sank in eventually.
Thankyou for a fine film. In this role Philippe Forquet reminds me strongly of Horst Buchholz in his youth. The rest is just letting go and following them through Paris. 😊
She was really beautiful. To think she had such a tragic life, dying at 40, is deeply sad. Hounded by the FBI for supporting Civil Rights in a time when it was controversial. The wonderful Stanley Baker didn't fare much better, dying of lung cancer at 48. He was one of the tough guys in films, who smoked/drank too much. They all paid for those bad habits.
There's an observation in "year of Living Dangerously", when Billy Jean reflects that Jill is in danger of becoming ...a "failed romantic"...that's a very real danger.
Appreciate your presentation of this unsung film. The first 45 minutes is intriguing, but became pedestrian by the stock characters and predictable storyline. That is, until Jean Seberg’s touching performance in the final scene.
She was reminding me of Eva Marie Saint - not identical looking but the voice is very similar. See her with Yves Montand in Grand Prix and listen to her voice - it's pretty much the same as Jean's.
Excellent movie. Two issues: James Leo Herlihy (author of "Midnight Cowboy"), who was gay, was horribly miscast as Jean Seberg's husband-to-be. He was awkward in the role and it showed! Also: Women dressed so beautifully in 1962. I remember my mother and all her friends dressed just as elegantly in those days, too, comme il faut. Sad how things have changed and devolved so badly.
I don't think James is miscast at all. He's supposed to be playing awkward and sweet and gentle as opposed to the playboys, young and old, who had manipulated and used Jean's character. It's a great film and everyone was fantastic in it. People only see what they want to see so perhaps ask yourself why you were uncomfortable with a gay man playing straight. I think the issues run deeper with you but I agree that everyone in the movies dressed great and we have gone downhill in that area
I'm glad someone else has noticed and reacted to an obvious gay man attempting to act like a real man. Since I was a child I always noticed it and always wondered how no one said anything. They can't act that well!!!
Well, it takes place in France, it depicts a certain sauveur faire of the French culture, pleasures and sex. In contrast a movie called American Style would be nothing but cowboys&indians or guns&gangsters.
@@Lightonahill25The French style is not “frivolous.” Her affairs were fun, free and meaningful to her. Why do so many people long to visit France if not to enjoy a bit of the appeal of the French culture and style. And maybe even romance!
Ja, the girl riding side saddle on his scooter, Christina smoking (ughh), her landlady wouldn't allow male visitors, open fires.A world of a different time.
Filmed in Paris, August 1962. Jean Seberg (1938-1979) & Philippe Forquet (1940-2020). She played a 19 year old, but was 23, he played a 21 year old, his correct age.
I'm in the middle of the clumsy sex scene and don't know if I can take the ridiculous much longer..Those early movie's dealing so crappie with this part of life really bend up my mind as a child, wondering why or if 'adults' acted like this in private..But it wasn't. It was the movies and the archaic filming laws then....leave alone the pregnancies that occurred and the fright of all that, with what abortions were then, as well !! And here in 2024 we, as humans, are STILL fighting over THAT stupid thing, thanks to prudish right wing jerks that want to continue forcing women to have to get them in 'back alleys' as if it were a black and white movie scene from 1955 !! Well, I guess I'll watch the rest of this, thus far, silly story where they're arguing over who's gonna get out of bed and turn off the light we all wanted kept on, hoping I at least will get to see some nice shots of France I'll never visit in my life, a France before spray paint came along ! 52:00 OK. Now he's in uniform: "May I present my fiance' ?" to Jean... Ugh !! Datzs it !! If I were sitting in one of those old pop corn and chewing gum smelling theaters I'd be clumsily trying to get past strangers' knees to flee for fresh air outside the stage exit door. I gotz better things to do here in 2024 than to finish this crap out !!
You should know that movies are far from real. Reality is that when there is sexual chemistry couples cannot stop enjoying the pleasure they give to each other. In every generation for ever and ever.
A young American art student must decide whether to stay in Paris with her boyfriend or go back to the U.S. when her wealthy father arrives to bring her back.
As an American expat in France for the past 40 years, this film struck many chords. Jean Seberg is amazing, so beautiful and talented, able to 'age' beautifully. it is bittersweet that she died so young. I will remember this film.
It's been said that she was murdered by American agents because of her views and her political associations.

A genuine film of growing up and thinking about one's future.
Lived in France as a teen. Takes me back!
Saw her first in Pendulum when I was 15 years old big crush on her ! Very sad to hear on her passing in 1979 if I remember correctly! RIP beautiful lady!
Very proud of Christina making a right decision! Fantastic ending, she will be happy with her husband to be.
Magnificent. Great acting. This is a wonderfully delightful GEM! Thank you!!!!

Looser is the correct word 😊
Just superb cinematography, intimate storyline what a treat 😊
Lovely movie ❤ It has a huge deep meaning about dreams , relationships & decisions in life!!!
Thoroughly enjoyed this movie gem and the chance to see a rare appearance of Jean Seberg.
Thankyou for a fine film. In this role Philippe Forquet reminds me strongly of Horst Buchholz in his youth. The rest is just letting go and following them through Paris. 😊
I thought it was Horst Buchholz at first

How do some people get so beautiful?
Europeans have always been beautiful.
@@ArcticHeart-e5x And Iowans?
Good genes and no plastic surgery or other ' procedures '.
Jean Seberg is from Iowa - perhaps a carnivore diet growing up?
Jean Seberg look a like is actress Scarlett Johansen, great movie
Only Jean is even prettier

Why movie name french style
because of all the 'frivolous' relationships she had that didn't lead anywhere. In the end, she went back home..

It was her own big smart mouth that did her in.
So, according to this movie "The French style" during the mid-century was just a kind of cynical promiscuity.
