Film Synopsis
Zayane is 75 years old. Ever since she arrived in France, she has never
set foot outside the neighbourhood where she now lives. One day, she
receives a letter informing her of the death of a man she once knew in Algeria.
In the course of one long day, she sets out to recover a box which the deceased
man bequeathed her. In her absence, her eleven children meet up in
her apartment and discover a part of their mother's life about which they
had been blissfully unaware...
Continental Films, quality cinema under the Nazi Occupation
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.
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.
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.
