Film Synopsis
In the fourth century AD, the Roman emperor Maximin persecutes
Christians, whose beliefs are finding greater support in the army and
amongst the patricians. Sébastien, an officer in the
emperor's personal guard, converts to the new religion and would rather
die under torture than deny his faith. The Christian slave Vibio
rises up against the cruelty of his guards and converts the daughter of
a Roman patrician to Christianity.

The history of French cinema
From its birth in 1895, cinema has been an essential part of French culture. Now it is one of the most dynamic, versatile and important of the arts in France.
Since the 1920s, Hollywood has dominated the film industry, but that doesn't mean American cinema is all bad - America has produced so many great films that you could never watch them all in one lifetime.
