Leave your thoughts about French Postcards.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertIt was produced, written and directed by Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz, who also wrote American Graffiti, and it has the same sharp memory for those specific moments when young people suspect they are doing certain things for the last times in their lives. So it is bittersweet, of course -- bittersweet, that indispensable street you travel through adolescence on. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Jay ScottParts of French Postcards have considerable charm, even if it is charm with the consistency of bunny-fluff. |
| User ReviewDoriano COne of my favorite movies ever because of personal reasons. I experienced similar things when I traveled to Europe after high school so this movie rang true to me. I loved everything about this movie. The cast was tremendous including young future stars Mandy Pantinkin and Debra Winger in small roles. Valérie Quennessen is a revelation..she went on to star in Summer Lovers 3 years later but died young in a tragic car accident. Miles Chapman does an awesome Woody Allen type performance and David Marshall Grant is fantastic. The writers Gloria Katz and Willard Huyck also penned the classic American Graffitti and the first draft of Star Wars (uncredited). |
| User ReviewBrandon FA very cute film about a group of American college students who move to Paris for a year abroad. Not a classic but a nice "feel good" film. |
| User ReviewMichael RUnfortunately, the brief "Movie Info" section seems to have a factual inaccuracy: "Mme. Tessier's extracurricular activities consists of a torrid romance with the impressionable Joel." Actually, the character she has a brief run-in with is Alex (played by David Marshall Grant). The DVD is finally available via Amazon. What fun! |
| User ReviewLee MAn excellent movie that stands the test of time. It does hae a sad aspect to because Valerie Quennessen who played Tomi was killed in a car accident during the late 1980s. |
