Film Synopsis
Gilbert and M.G. are two notorious crooks who have just broken out of
jail. Pursued by the police, they take refuge in a house
belonging to the well-heeled Roze family. They receive a
surprisingly warm welcome from Béatrice and her daughter Magali,
who are only slightly bothered that they will now have to cancel the
dinner they had planned for that evening, to celebrate Béatrice
and Daniel's 20th wedding anniversary. Just why are the Rozes
being so compliant? Anyone would think they had wanted to be
taken hostage for years. Gilbert and MG soon discover that things
are not what they seem...

French cinema during the Nazi Occupation
Even in the dark days of the Occupation, French cinema continued to impress with its artistry and diversity.
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.
