I put la galère! I did that question too, I did it for La Haine by Kassovitz :smile:

I hated how many environment questions it had as its my least favourite topic

Yay!! We've both got one mark in the bag already haha :smile:

Ah I did Amelie by Jeunet! I said that the influences were stronger on the techniques he used, what about you?

I'm a bit worried I didnt really mention themes as much but I did justify why techniques were more strongly influenced so hopefully it will be okay!?

Yes me too! Did you do the film?

For 'la vie penible' I got 'la galere' meaning chore/pain/hell.
The first listening I found so hard. All the questions were on really specific topic areas (cloning dogs/electronic bracelets etc) I thought this year!? The translations were a bit mean I thought. :angry:

Did anyone else do the metteur en scene question which was something like
"Analysez les principales influences... A votre avis, est-ce que ces influences sont plus fortes sur les techniques ou les themes?" :smile:

YES that was the question I did!!! I did it on Louis Malle and basically just wrote about his influences, themes and techniques without linking them together because I wasn't sure what the question meant! Somebody please translate it for me and tell me what it was asking??
(Also yay I wrote la galere)

The synonyms were, la galere, tente, des soins, and la réussite (can't spell right sorry) I think

I think it means

"Analyse the main influences on the director you have studied. In your opinion, are these influences stronger on the techniques or the themes" - I think?

i thought it was medicines because soigner was used in the infinitive wasn't it? as opposed to synonym 'des traitments' but i put all the others so fingers crossed

I put racines :s-smilie:

That gapfill looked easy at first glance but was actually not that nice :colonhash:
