Impress me!

Use the Google Blogger Mobile App (free on iTunes, Google) to post during the French Film Festival (iPads, Android tablets, iPhones, Android phone apps). But NOT during a film (you'll get thrown out!!) Next movie starts at 8pm: Un soir au club. So, Avoir 20 ans a Richmond was 'homegrown'. Lots of scenes of Richmond. The Director, Pierre-William Glenn has roots from our town, even has ancestors in the Hollywood cemetery here. The connexions (French uses an X in the word) between France and USA, especially around cinema, are legion. Interesting story in the film: during the Revolutionary War, Benedict Arnold (boo-hiss-famous traitor) came to Richmond and burned down much of the town, trying to drive out Thomas Jefferson. While being out of Tidewater, the French with Lafayette were able to disembark and help us whoop the British. So much histoire! (means both story and history, en français)
