Film Synopsis

Hubert is the talented editor of an important Parisian magazine.  If he has made a success of his life, the same cannot be said for one of his former friends, Papinou.  One day, Papinou sends Hubert a letter which takes him back many years to when they were both young men.  Both were attracted to Sabine, a young woman they met at a cinema.  Herbert, then just a trainee writer on a local rag, succeeded in making Sabine his mistress.  Determined to win Sabine for himself, Papinou persuaded Herbert to leave the area and make his fortune elsewhere.  Many years later, it seems that Hubert and Papinou have a very different recollection of events...

The best of Indian cinema
sb-img-22
Forget Bollywood, the best of India's cinema is to be found elsewhere, most notably in the extraordinary work of Satyajit Ray.
The very best of German cinema
sb-img-25
German cinema was at its most inspired in the 1920s, strongly influenced by the expressionist movement, but it enjoyed a renaissance in the 1970s.
The very best fantasy films in French cinema
sb-img-30
Whilst the horror genre is under-represented in French cinema, there are still a fair number of weird and wonderful forays into the realms of fantasy.
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.
The best of Russian cinema
sb-img-24
There's far more to Russian movies than the monumental works of Sergei Eisenstein - the wondrous films of Andrei Tarkovsky for one.
