Ces tests sont présentés dans un ordre de difficulté progressive allant du niveau A1 au niveau C2 du Cadre européen commun de référence. A partir du 22 mars 2013, plusieurs sessions s’ouvrent à Fort Lauderdale.

As of today, the Alliance francaise of Sarasota is the only official exam center in Florida that offers evaluations of French language proficiency for professional, academic or personal reasons.

Opening in Sarasota at Burns Court on May 3rd, 2013!

BY GILLES BOURDOS

Starring: Michel Bouquet, Christa Théret, Vincent Rottiers

Set on the French Riviera in the summer of 1915, Gilles Bourdos’ lushly atmospheric drama RENOIR tells the story of celebrated Impressionist painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir, in declining health at age 74, and his middle son Jean, who returns home to convalesce after being wounded in World War I.

The elder Renoir is filled with a new, wholly unexpected energy when a young girl miraculously enters his world. Blazing with life, radiantly beautiful, Andrée will become his last model, and the wellspring of a remarkable rejuvenation. At the same time, Jean also falls under the spell of the free-spirited young Andrée. Their beautiful home and majestic countryside grounds reverberate with familial intrigue, as both Renoirs, père et fils, become smitten with the enchanting and headstrong young muse.

RENOIR locates a fascinating moment of change, one century’s way of thinking giving way to the next, and the passing of the torch from a great painter to the great filmmaker of such classics as Grand Illusion and Rules of the Game.
