😄🎥 10 FILMS pour apprendre le français | Améliore ton français avec les films français

Today, I'm going to introduce you to 10 amazing French films that are perfect for improving your vocabulary, listening comprehension, and general knowledge.

Using films to learn French is a really effective technique.

If you're a beginner, you can use subtitles in your native language; if you're at an intermediate level, use French subtitles ; and finally, when you're at a good level, you can watch everything in French without subtitles.

Before we begin, subscribe to my channel if you haven't already, and let's get started!

We'll begin with one of the biggest recent French film successes, with over 10 million admissions in French theaters.

It's the film: The film was directed by Artus, a well-known comedian who plays Paulo, the main character.

He and his father are on the run after a robbery , and to escape the police, they hide out in a holiday center for people with disabilities.

To avoid being recognized, Paulo pretends to be a new resident and his father his special education teacher.

What was meant to be a simple hiding place becomes a profoundly human encounter.

The most incredible thing is that the actors with disabilities in the film aren't professional actors, but real people with disabilities.

It's a fantastic, touching social comedy with simple, natural, and accessible dialogue.

You'll have a great time.

Second film: Inspired by the novel by Alexandre Dumas, this film tells the story of Edmond Dantès' revenge.

A young sailor with a promising future, he was betrayed by his family.

Jealous of his success, they plot against Edmond and convince the authorities that he is a traitor involved in a political conspiracy.

Edmond is brutally arrested and sent to a truly terrible prison: the Château d'If, an isolated fortress off the coast of Marseille.

There, he meets another prisoner, Abbé Faria, who reveals the existence of a hidden treasure.

Thanks to this man, Edmond manages to escape from prison and is reborn under a new identity: The Count of Monte Cristo, a mysterious, wealthy man, ready to carry out a plan of revenge.

Pierre Niney's performance as Edmond was highly praised.

The film's vocabulary is rich and often sophisticated.

You'll learn about politeness and elegant expressions.

It's one of my favorite films. Third film: This film follows two characters , Jackie, played by Adèle Exarchopoulos, and Clotaire, played by François Civil,

two teenagers from northern France who fall in love.

They come from modest backgrounds.

Jackie tries to succeed in school and build a future for herself.

Clotaire, on the other hand, hangs out with shady groups and starts making bad choices.

One day, a serious event turns Clotaire's life upside down.

He disappears from Jackie's life for several years.

Jackie, meanwhile, carries on with her life: studies work responsibilities.

Then, one day, Clotaire returns to her life.

They have been transformed by the years, but deeply marked by this love that cannot be erased.

Their love is sincere, but complicated, because Clotaire's choices create danger.

So, it's a mix of romance, drama, and action.

If you want to practice spoken French today, the kind we speak in real life… it's perfect!

This film is my current favorite.

We continue our list with: It's a film by Cédric Klapisch, a director well-known for his human stories.

The story begins in Normandy, when a group of distant cousins ​​discover that they have jointly inherited an old family home.

They barely know each other, but four of them will gradually uncover the life of an ancestor, Adèle, who left alone for Paris in 1895, a time when this choice was considered audacious, almost scandalous.

The film alternates between the present, where the cousins ​​try to understand their origins, and the past, where we follow Adèle and her adventures.

It's an excellent romantic comedy-drama.

Since the film explores two eras, it's great for hearing different grammatical registers: more formal French and contemporary spoken French.

Often described as a French version of "Indiana Jones," let's now look at the film: In this film, Fabrice Luchini plays an eccentric and passionate archaeologist who believes he has found clues

concerning the treasure of Pharaoh Khufu, not hidden in a pyramid in Egypt, but somewhere in Paris.

Convinced that an incredible secret or treasure was brought back to France during Napoleon's time, he embarks on a wild quest with his daughter and grandson.

Their adventure takes them through the archives of the Louvre, historical sites in Paris, and secret rooms full of mysteries.

So the film touches on French historical elements, which helps you learn both the language and French culture.

The next film is a satirical comedy that imagines a somewhat absurd, somewhat crazy, and somewhat too-real future.

This is the film: Comedian Blanche Gardin plays Max, a former teacher opposed to all forms of technology, who tries to survive with her daughter by living modestly through small schemes.

One day, she finds herself in possession of a robot.

She had kidnapped it to sell it for parts, but everything quickly spirals into disaster.

Her daughter is taken away by social services , and Max realizes that the robot could help her find her.

The dialogue is contemporary, with humor and irony, and accurately reflects modern French.

Before watching the next film, if you think this video is helpful for your learning, give it a "like" to show me.

Here we go again!

Let's continue with a sweet and heartwarming dramedy that received several nominations at the 2025 César Awards: It's the story of Thibaut, an internationally renowned conductor.

At the height of his career, he learns two things that will change his life forever.

1. He has a serious illness and needs a bone marrow donor.

2. He was adopted.

This revelation prompts him to search for his origins.

That's how he meets Jimmy, his biological brother, who lives in northern France, works as a school cafeteria worker , and plays trombone in an amateur town band.

Jimmy and Thibaut are, at first glance, complete opposites, but they will learn to understand each other and overcome their prejudices thanks to what they have in common: a passion for music.

Now, let's look at a coming-of-age film called "Different."

In this film, we follow the story of Katia, a 35-year-old woman who is different from others and is trying to find her place in the world.

She leads a seemingly ordinary life.

She works as a documentary filmmaker and is in a complicated relationship with Fred.

One day, she is assigned a new story for work: a report on autism in France.

Through her research, interviews, and meetings, she begins to recognize traits, behaviors , and difficulties within herself that she had always ignored or minimized.

Gradually, Katia understands that she might be on the autism spectrum, which explains certain areas of discomfort in her relationships.

and some persistent social misunderstandings.

The vocabulary is contemporary and varies depending on the situation.

It's a very touching film, and I'm sure you'll like it.

Our next film is: It's the story of Marie, an elderly woman with terminal cancer who is tired of suffering.

She wants to choose how she leaves this world.

So, she decides to go to Switzerland because assisted suicide is illegal in France, but not there.

To convince her family to go with her without worrying them, she invents a story.

She claims they have to go to Switzerland to collect a mysterious inheritance from a bank.

What begins as a clumsy lie and an impromptu road trip becomes a profoundly human journey.

The film uses authentic, contemporary French spoken by very different characters (elderly person, adult, teenager), allowing you to hear several registers of language.

And we finish our list with a romantic comedy that takes place during the Avignon Theatre Festival, one of the most important arts festivals in France.

This film tells the story of Stéphane, a theater actor going through a rough patch in his career.

He travels to the Avignon Festival with his troupe to perform a light comedy called "Ma sœur s'incruste" (My Sister Drops In).

There, he runs into Fanny, a former classmate he deeply admires , who is playing a prestigious role in a classic play on a major stage.

To win her over, Stéphane pretends he has the lead role in a great classic, when in reality he's in a much less prestigious play.

But this little lie quickly turns into a misunderstanding that spirals out of control.

The film unfolds mainly in everyday situations, with fluent and expressive French.

You'll also discover a cultural aspect of France: the Avignon Festival.
