Oh! And this is a video of Jodie Foster singing “Je t’attends depuis la nuit des temps” for the soundtrack to the film “Moi Fleure Bleue.” Seventies-era video techniques are utilized!
I present to you un p’tit morceau of a little known French album by Jodie Foster from 1977.
Jodie Foster was my favorite actress when I was little, thanks to the 1977 Disney film “Candleshoe” also starring Helen Hayes and David Niven. The movie is the story of a tough American street urchin who gets involved in a scheme with a couple of crooks to go to England. They then try to convince an old aristocrat that Jody is the heiress to the old woman’s forture. It was a fun film (excellent chase scenes!), but a very innocent one compared to the other film Foster made that same year in France called, “Moi, Fleur Bleue.”
“Moi, Fleur Bleue” falls straight into the euro jailbait drama genre. In it Jodie plays a young French teen desperate to lose her virginity to an older Frenchman. The 15-year old Foster carried off the role entirely in French and was in fact fluent having studied at the Lycée Français in Los Angeles. In conjunction with the film, Jodie released an album with a sleazy, but catchy disco number “La vie c’est chouette…quand on a une amourette,” meaning “Life is swell when you have a crush.”
The film was never released in America, but I intend to begin a mission to find it!
What a scary old cartoon this is. A little eskimo and his arctic fauna friends build a snowman and dance around it gaily until all of a sudden, it starts coming to life. But instead of a friendly Frosty-the-Snowman type, he turns out to be a monster and starts torturing all the little creatures around him! Watch to see what comes of this boreal calamity!
