Film screening «Cún Thối ở Paris!» (Chien pourri, la vie à Paris!)

   A scruffy dog with his nose always to the wind, his best friend Chaplapla, and the whole of Paris ahead of them. This 62-minute French animated feature invites you to see the French capital through the most guileless pair of eyes going, right in the middle of Saigon.

   The film is co-directed by Davy Durand, Vincent Patar and Stéphane Aubier and belongs to the French film programme presented by the Institut français du Vietnam. Cún Thối roams the streets of Paris with Chaplapla, keeps landing himself in trouble, and every time finds a way to get up and carry on. Through a run of unexpected encounters the city turns out to be both poetic and very funny.

   What the session gives you:
Genre: animation, running time 1 hour 02 minutes
Audio in French, subtitles in Vietnamese and English
Venue: the DCiné screening room on Mạc Đĩnh Chi

   It suits families with young children, French learners who want to hear the language carried by a gentle story, and anyone who likes the hand-drawn charm of European animation. The plain drawing style and unhurried pace make it easy to follow at any age.

   DCiné sits in the central district, a few minutes by car from Bến Thành market, so the screening slots easily into an evening out in town.

   Ticket prices and booking arrangements were not published alongside the schedule, so it is worth asking the cinema directly before you set off.

   Bring the family and spend an easy evening with Paris seen from a dog's eye level.
