The Tournees Festival--French Films

The Lawrenceville French Club is proud to host GPC's first Tournées
festival of French films. The full schedule is below, but I wanted to
draw your attention to the screening of

Un long dimanche de fiançailles (A Very Long Engagement)
Tuesday, March 20 at 2:00, B-1500

Before we begin the movie, GPC's own Dr. Mary Reeves will give a lecture that contextualizes this World War I drama.

The screening is free and open to the public, and the film will be shown with English subtitles, so please encourage your students to attend. (Many will recognize the film's star Audrey Tautou
from Amélie and The Da Vinci Code.)
