Oublier Cheyenne (2005) Directed by Valérie Minetto
Comedy / Drama / Romance
aka: Looking for Cheyenne
Film Synopsis
Unable to make ends meet as a journalist, Cheyenne turns her back on the
consumer society she has grown to despise and starts a new life in the country.
She leaves behind in Paris her lesbian lover Sonia, who loves her job as
a school teacher and her creature comforts too much to accompany her.
The two women miss being apart but try to make a fresh start. Cheyenne
finds a new partner in Edith; Sonia begins a relationship with Pierre, an
anarchist. Unable to find happiness, either with Pierre or with his
successor Béatrice, Sonia goes after Cheyenne and tries to persuade
her to give up her rural idyll so that they can go on living together in
the big city. For Cheyenne, this proves to be an impossible decision.
Why must she choose between love and comfort...?

With so many great films to choose from, it's nigh on impossible to compile a short-list of the best 15 French films of all time - but here's our feeble attempt to do just that.
