Any movies feature Alsace-Lorraine contained by France?
Anyone know of any movies featuring the plan out, people, or culture of Alsace-Lorraine surrounded by France? I discovered that my ancestors came to the U.S. from in that and I would like to see it on motion picture. I love foreign movies, so I thought this would be a fun way to experience the region instead of reading a history book.
I'm more interested within cinema films than travel videos, but if in attendance are some travel DVDs that focus on Alsace-Lorraine I would check them out also.
BTW, I already found the Wiki description and, yes, I know it's now call Alsace-Moselle. :)
Thanks, merci, and danke!
Answers: My family is from Alsace-Lorraine. I if truth be told have reasonably a few family member still there. You should email me sometime so we can make conversation.

On IMDB you can also search for film locations. Here's the link for Strasbourg, France for example: http://www.imdb.com/List?endings=on&&loc...
Try their Power Search, and entering 'Alsace' within the field 'Location': http://www.imdb.com/list
Apparently 'Jules et Jim', which is wonderful, be partly film in Alsace, although I own no idea which scene exactly.
There are not many movies set here...(too bad it is a wonderful area).
The best is a made for TV Movie call in French "les Alsaciens ou les deux Mathilde". I do not know if it is subtitled contained by English though.
It explains a lot of the history of the nouns and the problems common folks had by switching backbone and forth between 2 citizenships.
I come from there and my grandpa born in1909 be born German then become French on 1918, then re-became German contained by 1940 and then died next to a French citizenship. Mindbogling, isn't it?
If I think of others I will tolerate you know.
