Un Dimanche à La Campagne
A Sunday in The Country
DVD in French with English subtitles.
A complete French lesson plan for Un Dimanche à La Campagne — ready to open and teach.
An elderly painter awaits his family for Sunday lunch, as he does every week. His son arrives, dutiful and predictable. Then his daughter blows in — warm, restless, adored. In a single afternoon, a lifetime of love, disappointment, and unspoken feeling passes between three people. Bertrand Tavernier's film about one Sunday in the French countryside says everything about family without raising its voice.
How This Plan Works
Good films have natural moments — a powerful scene, a cultural encounter, a shift in the story — where the language and meaning come together. This plan identifies those moments in Un Dimanche à La Campagne and builds a lesson around each one. For every scene, you get vocabulary and cultural notes, comprehension activities, and communicative tasks your students can work through in class or independently. A pre-film warm-up gets them ready before the first screening.
Everything is included: the teacher's guide, student worksheets in French, and an answer key.
