Film Synopsis
Blanchard has it all - a wife, two children, an important post at the
Ministry of Culture, and a mistress to spend his Saturdays with... But
he is bored with all of it - his nagging wife, his irritating brats, a
tedious job and a mistress who is indifferent to him. How easy it
is to throw all this away when he falls for his new secretary.
When his wife finds out he has been unfaithful to her, Blanchard makes
up his mind on the spur of the moment to leave her...

The brighter side of Franz Kafka
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.
In the 1940s, the shadowy, skewed visual style of 1920s German expressionism was taken up by directors of American thrillers and psychological dramas, creating that distinctive film noir look.
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.
