The Best Movies I Watched in March 2021

I’ve always loved to watch French cinema. French cinema always gives a good message in terms of the events it tells, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels this way. It is impossible not to be affected by such great films as the ones in the following list.

So in March, my top 7 favourite movies were all from the French cinema genre. I want to tell you about them and bring you together with those movies.

1. Selma (2014) (Imdb Selma)

The movie Selma strikingly tells us the difficulties experienced by Martin Luther King during the civil rights movement. The struggle for the equal rights of African-Americans, who remained subjugated by law in the Lutherian era, is the main subject of the film. It reveals how the phenomenon called belief mobilises the masses. It such an important lesson, especially in the climate we live in today, that the mass living with the dream of equality does not give up it’s just a struggle.

If anything is clear from this movie, it’s that one dream can change an entire continent.

2.The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020)

The Trial of the Chicago 7 is a historical law drama film written and directed by Aaron Sorkin. The film tells of the famous “Chicago Seven” case held in Chicago in 1968 after the events that took place during the show.

This movie is jam-packed with so many important messages:

1960s American politics;

Social changes and expectations of society;

The power of time to justify people;

The difference in point of view between those who have power and those who don’t;

The power of ideas to influence societies;

How powerful ideas affect and change people;

How politics and power holders collide with different ideas.

You will learn that strong ideas and facts will become accepted, even if it takes time. Trailer

3. Bacarau (2019)

This movie is a postmodern film about the European invasion of the Americas. His jump from branch to branch between literary and cinema genres offers a critique of civilisation’s history over these genres. Trailer

5. Le Samouraï (1967)

This movie talks about a lone hitman in one of the first cults of hired killers. Taking place in the misty backstreets and subway lines of Paris, the film has been obviously shot with an aesthetic eye and is beautiful to watch. But be ready for a surprise ending! Trailer

6. Hiroshima Mon Amour (1956)

Reminding us viewers once again how painful memories can be, we witness the pain of two people in 24 hours, according to the film in an area as narrow as the human brain. Emmanuelle Riva beautifully shows us how personal pain combines with the pain of the whole society. This was Alain Resnais’ first film in which he surrendered himself to literary expression.

7. La Haine (1995)

I admire this film most of all among this list as it offers an impressive perspective on discrimination in France which you can feel is so palpable throughout the movie. La Haine tells the daily life of 3 young people living in the ghetto.

This  important sociological observation prompts you to wake up to the many layers and struggles of the world and of each country that we don’t get to see of the through the rose tinted wash that we see on television.

I want to talk to you about the movies I watch every month and bring you together with those movies.
