We popped over to Montpellier to watch Slumdog Millionaire at the Diagonal this afternoon. The Diagonal because they showed the film in English, so it avoids leaving the cinema with a headache. Even though it was shown in English it was subtitled in French which was a double bonus because occasionally they spoke Urdu and it was possible to follow it in French.
At one point a character said, 'don't switch over we'll be back right away.' The French translation for switch over was 'zapper' as in don't change channels with a zapper. Interesting but hardly likely to appeal to the body that tries to protect the French language from 'corruption.'
Overall, an excellent film.
