No et Moi

In my meanderings through the web I came upon details of a new film due out shortly called No et Moi based on a book by Delphine de Vigan.   I read the blurb and it looked very interesting so I have purchased it;  about a bright girl who befriends a homeless girl called No it seems to have much to recommend it being rooted in the present.    Infact it is so rooted in the present that it is literally written in the present tense with perfects etc but definitely no past historic.   I've started reading it and am very optimistic that this is going to be a winner in terms of a related book and film which really will help A level students identify with modern day France.   While Entre les murs/La Classe is interesting sociologically I think this may be more engaging as a story.   Having said that I thought that for La Rafle film which turned out to be a bit flat.

So I think we shall see before long a comprehensive set of A level French resources on the site.  It's another quite time consuming book to do as it's about 250 pages but it should be rewarding.    Link to film on ImDB http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1600428/
