Celles qui aimaient Richard Wagner (2011) Directed by Jean-Louis Guillermou
Biography / Comedy / Drama
Film Synopsis
Richard Wagner is probably the most important person in Judith's life,
even if he died over a hundred years ago. Without his music, it
is doubtful that she would be able to cope with the humdrum life in
which she feels she is forever trapped. Inspired by what she
discovers about Wagner, she imagines his colourful life through the
prism of her own dull existence...

At the time of the Nazi Occupation of France during WWII, the German-run company Continental produced some of the finest films made in France in the 1940s.
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.
