Jean-Claude Izzo and food

A book about him and his relationship to Marseilles, its food etc.
Love death and basil - the Marseillais cooking of Jean-Claude Izzo, by Pierpaolo Pracca.


It includes lots of recipes (in Italian) at the end of the book.

Les Valseuses

I'm afraid I didn't watch more than the first few minutes, in spite of the big names - Depardieu, Jeanne Moreau among them.
Made in the 70s it shows two obnoxious young blokes causing mayhem - stealing cars, mistreating women etc.  Supposedly very subversive according to some, but a bit too unpleasant to watch.

Un Coeur en Hiver (1992)

Daniel Auteuil, Emmanuelle Beart and Ravel - a very slow, very French film. A love triangle, in which one of the lovers is gay, but we are unaware of this until the end.
