With the beginning of the year, cinema deals are pouring into French movie theaters.
As a savvy cinephile and having made, among other things, a resolution to go to the cinema more often in 2014, I’ve put together a quick summary of these enticing offers that will allow you to see films at a lower cost.
The UGC Must-Sees:
UGC
and Le Figaro are offering us, as they do every year, a little catch-up session of the best films released in 2013. This is the perfect opportunity to catch up on any films you might have missed at the cinema last year, or to rewatch those you loved if you’re a die-hard fan.
The UGC Must-Sees allow you, from January 8 to January 14, 2014, to see or rewatch in 22 UGC cinemas across France, the 28 films that defined 2013, for a flat rate of 3 euros.
To take advantage of this preferential rate, simply present your UGC loyalty card, your UGC unlimited card, or a Figaro coupon (available in Le Figaro on January 7 and 10, Le Figaroscope on January 8, Le Figaro Magazine on January 10, and Madame Figaro on January 10, 2014).
The films (with bold text for those I recommend seeing if you haven’t already):
- Django Unchained
- Wadja
- More Than Honey
- The Patience Stone
- No
- Side Effects
- Les Profs
- The Gilded Cage

The flat rate of €4 for under 14s:
Good news, since January 1st, 2014, the rate of 4 euros has been applied to viewers under 14 years old in all cinemas in France.
Of course, this rate is available upon presentation of proof of age, and is valid every day, for all standard screenings, and for all films.
The 2014 Télérama Cinema Festival:
From January 15 to January 21, 2013 you can enjoy cinema tickets for 3 euros with the Télérama pass found in the magazine’s January 2014 issues.
You can also try to win your pass in the free giveaway organized on the BNP Paribas Facebook page.
In total, 15 films selected by the Télérama cinema editorial team, and for the first time a youth film, will be screened for 7 days in 228 cinemas all over France: in Paris (21), the suburbs (30), and the regions (177).
All that’s left for me to do is wish you a very happy 2014 cinematic year!
