In the course of a routine burglary, Vincent Papineau, a petty thief,
steals an item of objet d'art of exceptional ugliness. Thinking
that the unsightly object is of little value, Vincent sells it on at a
derisory price, not realising that it has a secret compartment
containing a huge sum in banknotes. The money was destined for
Carlotta Luciani, who just happens to be an expert when it comes to
organising revenge killings...

The best French Films of the 1910s
In the 1910s, French cinema led the way with a new industry which actively encouraged innovation. From the serials of Louis Feuillade to the first auteur pieces of Abel Gance, this decade is rich in cinematic marvels.
Since the 1920s, Hollywood has dominated the film industry, but that doesn't mean American cinema is all bad - America has produced so many great films that you could never watch them all in one lifetime.
American film comedy had its heyday in the 1920s and '30s, but it remains an important genre and has given American cinema some of its enduring classics.
It was American film noir and pulp fiction that kick-started the craze for thrillers in 1950s France and made it one of the most popular and enduring genres.
