Interesting, while listening it sounded to me like the accent in François Truffaut's films. Then I realized that those films are closer to that recording than current times! (The 400 Blows is from 1959)
- norswap 6y agoI had the same reaction, I heard similar accents in old pieces of media - even by some people that are still famous today (though mostly dead).
- jjgreen 6y agoUnrelated, but the English literal translation of Les quatre cents coups is just daft, it should have been "The school of hard knocks" or similar.
- Seb-C 6y agoFor me all the old accents feels similar, so it reminds me of some Louis-de-Funès movies. My grand-parents still today have a similar way of speaking as well. It is not only the accent, but also the pace and vocabulary. Also, nowadays everybody is speaking casual French, but formal French was actually a thing in the past ;)
