Every French film on Netflix

17 Girls (17 Filles)

NOT AVAILABLE ANYMORE TO STREAM ON NETFLIX. NOW AVAILABLE ON NETFLIX DVD. This movie isn't about the glamour or the epic romance found on the streets of Paris. Delphine and Muriel Coulin know how to capture an exceptional sense female boredom in the suburbs of France.

Chinese Puzzle (Casse-tête chinois)

NOT AVAILABLE ANYMORE TO STREAM ON NETFLIX. NOW AVAILABLE ON NETFLIX DVD. The third and final installment of Cedric Klapisch's trilogy is now available on Netflix, and just may be the most feel-good, and relatable chapter.

OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies

NOT AVAILABLE ANYMORE TO STREAM ON NETFLIX. NOW AVAILABLE ON NETFLIX DVD. OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies (OSS 117: Le Caire, nid d'espions) is what Mike Meyers was going for with the Austin Powers series, but goes deeper, and more genuinely into the intricate genre of crime and espionage that the French love so much.

The Spanish Apartment (L'Auberge espagnole)

NOT AVAILABLE ANYMORE TO STREAM ON NETFLIX. And just like that, the best thing Cédric Klapisch ever created appeared on Netflix before our very eyes.

Heartbeats (Les amours imaginaires)

You and the Night (Les rencontres d'après minuit)

Oops, just missed it! This film is no longer available on Netflix streaming or DVD.

Put the kids to bed early this weekend because things are about to get a little risqué. You've never seen a Netflix selection quite like You and the Night (Les rencontres d'après minuit). Writer and director Yann Gonzales puts together an erotic and bewitching screenplay that centers around a curious living situation involving a couple and a sexually- charged transvestite house maid named Udo.

Tomboy

NOW ONLY AVAILABLE ON NETFLIX DVD. Every young girl has dreams of what she'll one day become. Laure (Zoé Héran) in particular, has dreams of being Mikael; in other words, a spitting, soccer playing, rough and tumble boy. Tomboy is a heroic tale about a 10 year old girl who longs to be someone else.

The French Minister (Quai d'Orsay)

NOT AVAILABLE ANYMORE TO STREAM ON NETFLIX. NOW AVAILABLE ON NETFLIX DVD. The whimsy and quick pace of a French romantic comedy is brought to the political sphere in Bertrand Tavernier's The French Minister, first released in 2013.

Young & Beautiful (Jeune et jolie)

Oops, just missed it! This film is no longer available on Netflix streaming or DVD. Mothers everywhere beware: Francois Ozon's Young and Beautiful (Jeune et Jolie) explores young Isabelle, a 17 year old with one foot still stuck in the door of childhood, who dives head first into a life of prostitution. The key idea here is that the decision is conscious and consentual.

Renoir
