Also known as COLCOA, a week of French film premieres in Hollywood. I love French films and since we don’t get to see them in Los Angeles that often, I usually like to check out a few of the latest French films “not to be missed.”
On Tuesday evening, my friend and I headed out to the Directors Guild of America pour une soirée de cinema.
Escaping into another world for a couple of hours, mingling with the French community of Los Angeles, enjoying some French conversation (read: small talk) – Bonsoir, comment-ça va? –, to see and be seen. And to partake in a famous aspect of the French joie de vivre, sipping a glass of wine, at the cocktail reception thrown by the Ile de France French Film Commission and Variety, before the screening of “Tete de Turc”.
Happy I don’t need subtitles to watch French films, I couldn’t help to let out a slightly indignant shout when catching the translation of the film’s title: “Turk’s Head”. So off! It’s kinda a play of words in French, and hard to literally translate into English. But in case you’re wondering … the closest it gets is “Bone Head”.
