French, anyone ?

I go to the National Film Archives of India (NFAI) every Sunday (almost) to see the French films screened there. The entry is free of cost which along with the fact that its a French film is truly an added incentive for going there. The place is just something like at a two minutes walking distance from my house. It has a very appealing laid back attitude to it. Also the people who turn up there to see the films are true film lovers. It's real nice to see a film in such company. The French films (most of which I have seen) have near perfect characterization and in general have a very relaxed feel about them. I cannot put into words exactly how different a French film is from other European or American films; you have to see some for yourself to realize. Also, even the one's which have a serious underlying meaning to them are not mentally taxing. The films go at an easy pace, and have little bits of humor that keep popping up suddenly. I must say the French films will top my list of foreign films in terms of the sheer number of films that I found pleasing, though it is some of the other European films that I would say are my favorites and have left an impact on my mind. That's it I guess. I have got it. The French films are very nice and all but very few leave an impression on your mind. I wonder if its the same with the French people.
