My last night in Montreal I caught the start of the Festival des Films du Monde and the first outdoor screening. The film was Que la fête commence... from 1975, a proper French film d'époque, with Philippe Noiret and the forever-amazing Jean Rochefort. Alas there were no subtitles and many left early on as not everyone enjoys those kinds of productions.
I could probably watch anything as long as Rochefort's voice is there. Heck, I even got into equestrian sports because he was the commentator for those during the Athens Olympics!
The best part is that many people came prepared with their own folding chairs. You could also borrow a small pillow to sit on. Such brilliant organisation!
Et bah on est content pour lui...
My film snack. Almonds and Dr Pepper... not "light", not "diet" but "diète". That was a major WTF moment in the store. Who in the world came up with that one?
Most people put away their books once the lights went out but not the guys in the photo on the right. They had head lamps and kept on reading! Hardcore!
My quest for strange foreign food brought me to this. The claim is that it's pure fruit. Honestly, it tasted like crap! I don't care if it's pure fruit or not but why would anyone eat this stuff? Either eat a real fruit or eat some proper pâte de fruits. So yes, not on my recommended list.
