French cinema has always invited us to look a little closer—not only at the world around us, but at ourselves.
This Bastille Day, we’re celebrating that tradition with a special selection of clips drawn from the INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE library of filmmaker conversations, featuring some of the most exciting voices in contemporary French cinema.
Rebecca Zlotowski explores family, identity, and the mysteries of memory in A PRIVATE LIFE.
François Ozon reimagines Albert Camus’ THE STRANGER for a new generation.
Louise Courvoisier brings warmth, humor, and authenticity to rural France in HOLY COW.
And Laura Piani reminds us that love, literature, and self-discovery are never far apart in JANE AUSTEN WRECKED MY LIFE.
Different in style and subject, these films share the same spirit: bold, intimate, and deeply human. Because great cinema doesn’t simply tell us stories—it changes the way we see the world.
Celebrate Bastille Day with INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE and revisit highlights from four of our conversations about the best in contemporary French cinema, starting now.
