Why French films? If you watch the below five titles, you'll know it. But to put it into words, French film to me is: esthetics, subtleties, sensuality. Like no other filmmakers, the French understand the art of communicating without telling.

Like Obama, my children magnify and inform and give meaning to everything I do. And if I had the power to transform the debate on same sex marriage in this country, I'm pretty sure I would be thinking of my sons as I did so
