Film Synopsis

Margo is a world-class cellist with a brilliant career ahead of her, but she throws all this up so that she can marry the man of her dreams and devote herself to loving him with all the fervour a woman is capable of.  But her husband Furio scarcely seems to be aware of what she has had to give up for him.  A talented architect who is steadily gaining a reputation, he is too preoccupied with his latest prestigious contract, to renovate an old building in Italy.  Far from being grateful for Margo's sacrifice Furio has come to resent it.  Now that she knows she is no longer loved, Margo drifts ever nearer to insanity...

The best French Films of the 1920s
sb-img-3
In the 1920s French cinema was at its most varied and stylish - witness the achievements of Abel Gance, Marcel L'Herbier, Jean Epstein and Jacques Feyder.
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 Russian cinema
sb-img-24
There's far more to Russian movies than the monumental works of Sergei Eisenstein - the wondrous films of Andrei Tarkovsky for one.
The brighter side of Franz Kafka
sb-img-1
In his letters to his friends and family, Franz Kafka gives us a rich self-portrait that is surprisingly upbeat, nor the angst-ridden soul we might expect.
