Divin enfant (2014)
Directed by Olivier Doran

Comedy

Film Synopsis

In a large house surrounded by vineyards a family is gathering for a Christmas get-together that is destined to be their worst ever nightmare.  Sarah, an attractive and lively young woman, has had the bright idea of inviting three of her former boyfriends - Xavier, Eric and Thomas - to spend the Yuletide season with her and her chronically introverted husband Jean.  Sarah's abrupt declaration that she is pregnant doesn't go down as well as she might have hoped, mainly because her husband knows he is sterile and therefore incapable of fathering children.  It becomes apparent that the only way Sarah could have put herself in the family way is by sleeping with one of her ex-boyfriends, but which one?  Xavier rules himself out, insisting that he hasn't slept with a woman for over a year.  From this it follows that the two most likely culprits are Eric and Thomas.  The scene is set for the stormiest of Christmas repasts where anything is possible - even an immaculate conception...

The greatest French Films of all time
sb-img-4
With so many great films to choose from, it's nigh on impossible to compile a short-list of the best 15 French films of all time - but here's our feeble attempt to do just that.
The best French Films of the 1910s
sb-img-2
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.
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.
French cinema during the Nazi Occupation
sb-img-10
Even in the dark days of the Occupation, French cinema continued to impress with its artistry and diversity.
The very best sci-fi movies
sb-img-19
Science-fiction came into its own in B-movies of the 1950s, but it remains a respected and popular genre, bursting into the mainstream in the late 1970s.
