A 32 page booklet for pupils to complete on the film Un Long Dimanche de Fiancailles.
Includes pages to fill in with information about 10 main characters, the key themes, cinematography and sound and an analysis of 7 key scenes.
Characters pages include descriptions and examples from the film, their role in the film, links to the main themes and how they influence Mathilde and her enquiry.

There are spaces for pupils to fill in key information on all they know and to cross reference the themes, characters and cinematography.

I printed as an A5 booklet and the students really liked the idea of having all their notes in one place.
Please note - this is a booklet for students to complete and not a guide with answers.
