Imagine my surprise to find that greatest of all 20th century cultural icons - the drive-in movie theatre - about 10 kms from our hotel. Of course, we had to go. There was a great Québécois movie playing: Filière 13 (a cop drama) which really got me revved up about Québec film and how good it is. It had been a while since I'd seen one and this milieu made it all the more sublime. The second film was a dubbed version of Angelina Jolie's latest tournure: Salt. We were the only customers sitting in lawn chairs outside and it goes without saying that I was the sole person taking photos!
Cherchez les drive-ins! Are lawn chairs the norm at American drive-ins, and was it cool enough to enjoy the movie? You served as a model of intercultural competence for Canadians :)
ReplyDeleteI think it is absolutely hilarious that you posted a photo of the drive-in movie itself. You're a wild woman with that camera.
ReplyDeleteHey, we need another posting about how the Quebecois French is working for you in comparison to being in French French in your experience (and Alan and Sophie).
In what language have the interviews at the schools been?
Ruth - thanks for your interest. I am getting ready to post a posting dedicated to language issues. It has been interesting!
