Dear franceinlondoner

Cinema

35 Shots of Rum

Out now

"35 shots of Rum" is a tender drama, which resonates with unmitigated clarity. 35 Shots of Rum, appears comparatively simple but is it really that simple. Every shot is so intense that even simple family moments lets you know that you're dealing with a film-maker of incredible vision. One of Claire Denis's best.

Politics

What's under the Burka?

During his speech in Versailles, President Nicolas Sarkozy has said that the Islamic burka is 'not welcome' in France. Polemic. A recent survey carried out on our website showed that nearly 4 out of 5 of the people who expressed an opinion were in favour of a ban in France. What do you think?
