Daft Parisians

Hollywood film productions are translated into French in both Québec and France and both come up with a different French title for the same movie. As you would expect it to be, the title of a movie that has been translated into French is French. This is the case in Montréal but surprisingly enough, it is not necessarily the case in Paris. In their infinite wisdom, the Parisians have come up with an English title for the latest Johnny Depp movie which is titled Black Mass.

Here is a list of a few Parisian titles for Hollywood productions in the last decade:

• Black Mass - French Title: Strictly Criminal
• Some Kind Of Beautiful - French title:  Teach Me Love
• No Strings Attached - French Title: Sex Friends
• The Hangover - French Title: Very Bad Trip
• Get Him to the Greek - French Title: American Trip
