Steven Spielberg should have seen this excellent French film

Maybe Steven Spielberg should have seen this excellent French film before shooting "Terminal". Stand-by has substance and meaning, an incredible performance by leading lady Dominique Blanc and a formidable supporting cast and excellent cinematography by Tetsuo Nagata. Follow the life of the heroine of this film and see her change as the action progresses. Could be slightly shorter in length but succumb to the pleasures of this excellent original film by first time director Roch Stephanik.

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.
