Lumières Françaises
What better way to follow Thursday's Bastille Day than by celebrating French culture? OK, a good Beaujolais. But still, whether you're a committed Francophile or just a fan of Truffaut movies, try the weeklong film program scheduled at St. Anthony Main by UniFrance (the French movie industry's international sales agent) and the Cultural Services of the French Embassy. It looks like a collection of delicacies hard to beat. Highlights of the program include "Lolo," a rebellious new romantic comedy written and directed by, and starring Julie Delpy, and "Reset," a hip documentary portrait of renowned choreographer and dancer Benjamin Millepied (best known for the dance sequences in "Black Swan") as he attempts to rejuvenate the Paris Opera Ballet. There's also "The Brand New Testament," an irreverent religious satire by Jaco Van Dormael that "outs" God as a nasty oaf living in Brussels with his long-suffering wife and daughter, creating natural disasters to stave off divine boredom. Vive la France! Allez! (Fri.-July 21. St. Anthony Main Theatre, 115 SE. Main St., Mpls. 612-331-4724. stanthonymaintheatre.com.)
