French films with English subtitles to watch in June 2025
The cinema club Lost in Frenchlation holds regular screenings of French films with English subtitles, with the aim of allowing French language beginners to appreciate the richness and diversity of French cinema. The films are usually a mixture of new releases and classics. Here's what is coming up in June – including a special premiere to mark the Champs-Elysées Film Festival and not one but two Blanche Gardin vehicles. Miséricorde – Wednesday, June 4th What? The New York Times described Alain Guiraudie's 2024 multi César–nominated movie as 'film noir with the lights turned on', while French critic Caroline Besse called it a 'delicious thriller like a mushroom omelette'. We hold no such cinematically flavourful opinion on this tree-bound missing person mystery set in darkest Aveyron, save to say you'll probably really enjoy it. Catherine Frot is a joy as the concerned widow whose son is caught up in the centre of the story. Advertisement When? Drinks at 7pm, screening at 8pm, followed by a Q&A with one of the stars. Where? Jeu de Paume, 1 Pl. de la Concorde, 75008 Paris. Tickets? Tickets – costing between €7.50 and €11.50 – can be ordered here . Les Musiciens – Friday, June 6th What? Frédéric Pierrot is on scene-stealing form in this well regarded drama. He is the misanthropic perfectionist composer of a piece of music that an idealistic heiress (Valérie Donzelli) wants to see performed at a unique concert bringing together four Stradivarius instruments. When? Drinks at 7pm, screening at 8pm, followed by a Q&A with director Gregory Magne. Where? L'Entrepôt, 17 Rue Francis de Pressensé, Paris 14. Tickets? Tickets – costing between €6 and €9.50 – can be ordered here . Un Monde Merveilleux – Thursday, June 12th What? Blanche Gardin continues to be utterly astonishing in this clever near-future comedy as a rebellious and technosceptic former teacher eking out an existence as a petty criminal, who kidnaps a caregiver robot in an effort to regain custody of her daughter. Advertisement When? Drinks at 7pm, screening at 8pm, followed by a Q&A with first-time feature director Guilio Callegari. Where? Luminor, 20 Rue du Temple, Paris 4. Tickets? Tickets – costing between €7.50 and €11.50 – can be ordered here . Le Grand Bain – Sunday, June 15th What? Remember The Full Monty – the 1997 British comedy about unemployed middle-aged Sheffield steelworkers who form a male striptease act? Think that, only French, and involving an all-male synchronised swimming team rather than loveable poundshop Chippendales. Just as heartwarming, too. When? Tea bar open from 7pm for a hot drink, screening at 7.30pm – with subdued lighting so cinemagoers can combine the movie with a spot of casual knitting as part of World Wide Knit In Public Day. Where? Studio des Ursulines, 10 Rue des Ursulines, 75005 Paris. Tickets? Tickets – costing between €5.40 and €9.40 – can be ordered here . Champs-Elysées Film Festival: L'Incroyable Femme des Neiges (The Incredible Snow Woman) – Sunday, June 22nd What? As part of the Champs-Elysées Film Festival, Lost in Frenchlation proudly hosts the premiere of Sébastien Betbeder's comedy drama – in which the remarkable Blanche Gardin (you may remember her as the technosceptic mother from Un Monde Merveilleux ) stars as an arctic explorer who fears nothing … except confronting her own existence back in her native Jura. Advertisement When? Limited drinks – included in the ticket price and served on the rooftop – start at 6.30pm, screening at 8.30pm followed by a Q&A with cast and crew. Hot food is available on the evening for €9, payable on the night. Where? Publicis Cinéma, 129 avenue des Champs-Élysées, 75008, Paris. Tickets? Tickets – costing €40 until June 1st and €45 thereafter, including rooftop cocktails – are available here .

César nominations 2025: Who is the favourite to win France's top cinema award?
The César Academy has announced the nominations for its 50th ceremony and unsurprisingly, this year's top nominees include Le Compte de Monte-Cristo, L'amour ouf and Emilia Pérez. Le Comte de Monte-Cristo, the hugely popular cinematic adaptation of the classic French novel by Alexandre Dumas, scored the most nominations with 14 nods. The film, directed by Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de la Patellière, sold nine million tickets in France and stands as one of the favourites this year - especially when it comes to the Best Actor category, which Pierre Niney is the frontrunner for. Behind it is the romantic drama L'Amour ouf (Beating Hearts) with 13, and awards favourite Emilia Pérez with 12 nominations. All eyes will be on Jacques Audiard's Spanish-language musical, which has already won two Palmes, five European Film Awards, four Golden Globes and has beaten the nomination record for a non-English-language film at the Oscars. Elsewhere, five superb films make up the shortlist for Best International Feature: Palme d'Or winner Anora; Euronews Culture's top film of 2024 The Seed of the Sacred Fig; the underrated and freshly Oscar-nominated The Apprentice; the mind-melting The Substance; and last year's Oscar-winning The Zone of Interest. It's worth pointing out that all five films debuted at the Cannes Film Festival. Only one month left to find out who will succeed Justine Triet's Anatomy of a Fall - which won six Césars last year, including Best Film. The 50th César Awards will take place in Paris at the Olympia on 28 February 2025. The ceremony will be presided over by Catherine Deneuve and American actress Julia Roberts will receive this year's honorary César. Here are the main highlights of this year's nominees: Best Film Le Comte de Monte-Cristo Emilia Pérez En Fanfare L'histoire de Souleymane Miséricorde Best Director Gilles Lelouche for L'amour ouf Matthieu Delaporte & Alexandre de la Patellière for Le Comte de Monte-Cristo Jacques Audiard for Emilia Pérez Boris Lojkine for L'histoire de Souleymane Alain Guiraudie for Miséricorde Best Actress Adèle Exarchopoulos - L'Amour ouf Karla Sofía Gascón - Emilia Pérez Hafsia Herzi - Borgo Zoé Saldana - Emilia Pérez Hélène Vincent - Quand vient l'automne Best Actor François Civil - L'Amour ouf Benjamin Lavernhe - En Fanfare Karim Leklou - Le roman de Jim Pierre Niney - Le Comte de Monte-Cristo Tahar Rahim – Monsieur Aznavour Best Actress in a Supporting Role Elodie Bouchez - L'amour ouf Anais Demoustier - Le Comte de Monte-Cristo Catherine Frot - Miséricorde Nina Meurisse - L'histoire de Souleymane Sarah Suco - En Fanfare Best Actor in a Supporting Role David Alaya - Miséricorde Bastien Bouillon - Le Comte de Monte-Cristo Alain Chabat - L'amour ouf Jacques Develay - Miséricorde Laurent Lafitte - Le Comte de Monte-Cristo Revelation Award - Actress Maïwenn Barthelemy - Vingt Dieux Malou Khebizi - Diamant Brut Megan Northam - Rabia Mallory Wanecque - L'amour ouf Souheila Yacoub - Planète B Revelation Award - Actor Abou Sangaré - L'histoire de Souleymane Adam Bessa - Les Fantômes Malik Frikah - L'amour ouf Félix Kysyl - Miséricorde Pierre Lottin - En Fanfare Best Original Screenplay Stéphane Demoustier - Borgo Emmanuel Courcol & Irène Muscari - En Fanfare Boris Lojkine & Delphine Agut - L'histoire de Souleymane Alain Guiraudie - Miséricorde Louise Courvoisier & Théo Abadie - Vingt Dieux Best Adapted Screenplay Matthieu Delaporte & Alexandre de la Patellière - Le Comte de Monte-Cristo Jacques Audiard - Emilia Pérez Michel Hazanavicus & Jean-Claude Grumberg - La plus précieuse des marchandises Best International Film Anora The Seed of the Sacred Fig The Apprentice The Substance The Zone of Interest Best First Film Diamant brut Les fantômes Le royaume Un p'tit truc en plus Vingt dieux
