Abstract
Treating multilingualism as both a dialogic and narrative focus, contemporary French multilingual cinema re-envisions the place of multilingualism in French society, interrogating the complex power dynamics at play in multilingual interaction. One such film which places the dynamics of language and power at its heart is Philippe Lioret's 'Welcome', a film which calls into question the shifting role of multilingualism in France, and its impact on the role of the French language.
