2 Days in Paris

Three Colours: White
Another film from the cult trilogy, but this time by Krzysztof Kieślowski. Polish hairdresser Karol finds himself on the streets of Paris after divorcing his French wife. Returning to his homeland, he hatches a plan of revenge on his ex-wife, who is played by Delpy, but forgets to consider the fact that he still loves her.
Skylab
A great way to delve into the everyday atmosphere of French families without sugarcoating. Delpy directed a small film about a large family that gathers in Brittany to celebrate Grandma's 67th birthday. The festive occasion later turns into a crazy vacation with endless feasting, champagne, songs, dancing and roast lamb.
Lolo
One of Delpy's last films. After watching it you start wondering whether you need to have children.
