Drama
aka: Twisting Fate

Film Synopsis

Claire, 17, is spending her summer holidays with her family in South Africa.  She has a habit of squabbling with her brother, and this is how she comes to be stuck in the car whilst her parents and brother go off to explore the region.  It is a quirk of fate that ends up saving her life, because she is the only member of the party to return home after a tragic accident.  Stricken with guilt and teetering on the brink of a complete nervous breakdown, Claire blames herself for the deaths of her nearest relatives, but when she comes to her senses she sees things differently.  Fate, she decides, is on her side, and will be whatever she chooses to do with her life.  This realisation has an immense liberating effect on her as she embarks on a new life, confident that she is the master of her own destiny...

The greatest French Films of all time
sb-img-4
With so many great films to choose from, it's nigh on impossible to compile a short-list of the best 15 French films of all time - but here's our feeble attempt to do just that.
The very best of German cinema
sb-img-25
German cinema was at its most inspired in the 1920s, strongly influenced by the expressionist movement, but it enjoyed a renaissance in the 1970s.
The very best fantasy films in French cinema
sb-img-30
Whilst the horror genre is under-represented in French cinema, there are still a fair number of weird and wonderful forays into the realms of fantasy.
The best of Japanese cinema
sb-img-21
The cinema of Japan is noteworthy for its purity, subtlety and visual impact. The films of Ozu, Mizoguchi and Kurosawa are sublime masterpieces of film poetry.
The best of British film comedies
sb-img-15
British cinema excels in comedy, from the genius of Will Hay to the camp lunacy of the Carry Ons.
