Film Synopsis

Attilo is a poet and, like all great poets, he is a dreamer.  Every night, he has the same dream, in which he encounters his ideal woman.  How delighted he is to find the woman of his dreams, in flesh and blood, in the course of a discussion with an Iraqi friend.  Attilo doesn't waste a second in trying to seduce her, but Vittoria proves unsusceptible to his charms and before he knows it she is gone.  The poet decides he must find her, at any cost...

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 history of French cinema
sb-img-8
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.
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.
The very best period film dramas
sb-img-20
Is there any period of history that has not been vividly brought back to life by cinema? Historical movies offer the ultimate in escapism.
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.
