French Postcards (1979)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Very disappointing...

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

I'm just watching the new DVD release of French Postcards and I'm sorry to say they have substituted all the music with elevator muzak. This is really a shame in that the original music soundtrack was one of the best things about this film. It was French language versions of pop hits such as "Do You Believe In Magic?" and "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?" that was most memorable. This is still a fine film and I recommend it but I wish they would bring back the original soundtrack. I remember seeing this film on HBO back in the eighties when they ran the same film ten times a day and I would watch it just for the soundtrack. I advise you try to find an old VHS version with the original music. Also Debra Winger's role is so small it's ridiculous they try to promote it as "starring Debra Winger".

I think this is one of the best "coming of age" movies ever made. I think it was a victim of the US/Iran problems of 1979. Had the Iranian problem not happened, I believe this would have been more widely viewed originally, and more of a hit. The performances are excellent. Seeing Debra Winger before her rise to stardom is worth the price. It's sad to me to know that Valerie Quennessen died in 1989. I also loved the performance of Marie-France Pisier. Mandy Patinkin was so good in this movie. I love his comedy performances. Being filmed on location in Paris (and the surrounding countryside) along with the performances of genuine French actors gives this movie the realism necessary to believe all the characters. We all have had the wide-eyed innocence that makes this film perfect. I wish there would be a release on DVD. My VHS tape could run thin after a few more viewings.

there is something about this film...when i was 15-16, it seemed that it was on HBO every other day. and i watched it every time! of course i had such a crush on Valérie Quennessen (Toni) and i can say i am actually crushed to learn of her death. but there was a lot more to the film than just your average teenage crush. i can't explain the feelings it gave me of another world, far away.turns out that neither kozmo nor urbanfetch have it, so am going to have to go on a quest now to find it.if you haven't seen this movie, do so! it is light, not too heavy on the mind or the heart, but leaves just enough of an impression on both that you won't forget it!

OK, French Postcards is my guilty pleasure film of all time. It doesn't try hard to achieve anything (dare I say even European, in its approach), which makes the film a delight to watch compared to most coming of age/college comedies. Plus, anything with the beautiful Valérie Quennessen (sadly no longer with us) is worth watching. Maybe way past its sell-by date today (hell, so is Diva), but if you were born in the Sixties, just the ticket to wax nostalgia about that year abroad (even if you never did it).
