The best French war films ever made
For a nation that was badly scarred by both World Wars, is it so surprising that some of the most profound and poignant war films were made in France?
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.
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.
