As we are all trying to become more cultured and well "read" in French and one of our best resources is our beloved faculty, here are some recommendations from two of your profs:
Both recommended Les Fleurs du mal (Baudelaire), so that really must be a must-read for those of you reading this that haven't gotten on the poetry band-wagon yet.
Professor Jesse Hurlbut –
Film: The Three Colors Trilogy : Bleu, Blanc, Rouge
Literature: Essais (Montaigne)
Music: Véronique Sanson
Professor Corry Cropper –
Film: Zidane a 21st Century Portrait, Le colonel Chabert, and De battre mon cœur s’est arrêté (The Beat That My Heart Skipped)
Literature: Le Rouge et Le Noir (Stendhal) and Petit éloge de la bicyclette (Fottorino)
Music: Daft Punk, Justice, Telepopmusik, Camille, Tété
Check these out and let us know what you think in the comments!
Look forward to suggestions from more professors soon.
