Movie spotlight: French films

Here's an unbeatable bargain for French film fans. From Monday through Thursday, the Theatres at Mall of America will present half a dozen recent French movies for just $5 per film. The lineup includes "Jappeloup," a "Seabiscuit"-style against-all-odds racing drama; "It Boy," a fluffy romantic comedy; "Little Lion," a drama about French soccer leagues exploiting Sudanese immigrant players; the Juliette Binoche alcoholism drama "A Monkey on My Shoulder"; "Tour de Force," a cycling comedy set at the Tour de France; and "Under the Rainbow," a fable-like comic romance.
