anyone studying La Haine for their expose?
if so, do you have any ideas what sort of theme you might choose to talk about? :smile:

I'm studying La Haine! We had to choose three main themes, I've gone for the cultural divide between the suburbs and the city, racism, and the role of women (or rather, how they are not important in the film).

Phew, I was getting worried I was the only one.
I was even starting to think it was a hoax.
Aha, UCAS makes me people crazy :biggrin:

The first section of mine will be terrible, the topics we do in school are completely boring and rubbish :lol:

I still haven't had a questionnaire from UCL? But they sent me an email saying they hope to reach a decision on my application within 4 weeks, and that was over a week ago now. Strange. :|

We're doing La Haine for the written exam and have been studying it in class for the past several weeks. I'm studying the film as well in my Film class for my exam and I've found the themes of exclusion and confinement the most interesting. For the French oral, I'm talking about Amelie. :smile:

ah okay

im doing it the other way round, studying amelie for the written, love that film! :smile:

Also Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme! You wouldn't think that a guy from a couple of hundred years ago could still be funny... but he is! :biggrin:

Went for Le médecin malgré lui in the end as I think it appeals to me a bit more than the others.

Half way through already and it's brilliant :biggrin:
