Film: Le pont du Nord
Game: Game of the Goose
Even though no "real" game can be seen in this movie, it is worth to include because of its connection with one of them: when the two protagonist girls, Marie and Baptiste, find a map of Paris with a grid drawn on it, the older woman (Bulle Ogier) compares it to a Game of the Goose board. They even find an analogy between the places they visit and the situations they confront with those of the different spaces in the game: the Death, the Bridge, the Maze...
At some points, the movie even has an unintetional role-playing game feeling, specially in the scene where the younger girl (Pascale Ogier) fights an imaginary dragon who keeps a treasure.
