...this she seems to encapsulate the recent history of French cinema. Whether it's an intense drama like I've Loved You So Long or a clever thriller like Roman de Gare, there comes a moment when most of the cast settles down to a lovingly appreciated (and photographed) feast - steam rising from the main dishes, tempting odors almost palpable in the theater. Ooh la la has been transformed into a long, envious ooh as we watch the cast dig in. In these films, even quick bites in a café or bistro can sometimes make the moviegoer's mouth...
