“Les César… J’adore… le Cinéma Français…
“Les César“…
The black and white silent film…
“The Artist“…
Won… lavishly…
Six “César“ awards…
Including… “Best Film“… “Best Actress“…
“Best Director“… among others…
Watching the… “37e cérémonie des César“… on a cold February night… at the Théâtre du Châtelet, while sipping on our excellent wine and munching on delicious crudités… we were delighted with the presentation by Antoine de Caunes… of the understated… but potently elegant affair…
The… French Oscars…
Nearly all the Lady presenters… wore the ubiquitous black “Smoking” Tuxedo… and oh how glamorous… those tall long legged… skinny… French actresses looked in the… chic “Yves Saint Laurent“… LOOK…
George Cravenne… a French film producer created… “Les Césars: l’Académie des Arts et Techniques du Cinéma“… which is the French equivalent of the “Oscars” of America.
Having had the idea of creating a French version of the Academy Awards… Cravenne… immediately thought of his friend “César“… the brilliant sculptor… César Baldaccini… after whom the statuette was named… He was so impressed by the idea… to the point that even both names… “Oscar” and “César“… had five letters… Voila…
The rest is… “César Awards“… history…
Twenty Césars are awarded in late February in Paris every year…
The “Académie“… consists of 3 400 dedicated artists and professionals whose intention is to encourage cinematography and to develop the public interest in French cinema…
“Le septième art“…
George Cravenne and the “Académie” have succeeded phenomenally…
In honouring… French cinema…
I… for one… believe so…
The mood… in French cinema…
The… ambience…
“L’amour“…
Deeply… enigmatic…
Mysterious… slow-moving..
. emotive…
Understated…
“Pudique“… discreet…
“Le fabuleux…
Cinema français“…
“J’ADORE“…
