What can be gained from foreign movies besides the language however, is a feeling for the atmosphere and the qualities of another nation. Films like "Le Million" seem to carry the air and smells of Paris into the Anglo-Saxon austerity of even Harvard's brick. While history is vividly reconstructed in a movie such as the English production of the Dreyfus Case in which literal reality was sacrificed to truthfulness of impression...
