Foreign Film Post

I watched Amelia, a 2001 French/German film directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet starting Audrey Tautou.  In my opinion the movie was phenomenal.  The plot had everything from humor, some mystery, a little bit of tragedy, to love and romance.  I think one thing a lot of foreign films always have is some sort of chase scene.  Of all the foreign films I've ever watched, they have all had some sort of chase.  In foreign films the background music is always different.  Obviously since this was a French film there was an accordion in pretty much every song.  I've seen only two to French films in my life and both were love stories which leads me to believe that French film makers tend to favor Romance over any type of genre.  I think American films are usually high action flims with people dying and blowing up and hold a high level of intensity.
