Film Synopsis
In Paris, Sister Angèle has yet to take her final vows. In
the meantime, she occupies herself by looking after sick
children. One day, in the course of her duties, she witnesses a
murder and sees the culprit running away. She is then sent to
Marseille to meet up with a party of nuns who have returned to France
with some Eurasian orphans, survivors of the war in Indochina. It
is here that she recognises the killer she saw earlier, Marcello.
He confesses to the murder and Sister Angèle takes it on herself
to hand him over to the police.

The best of Russian cinema
There's far more to Russian movies than the monumental works of Sergei Eisenstein - the wondrous films of Andrei Tarkovsky for one.
In the 1910s, French cinema led the way with a new industry which actively encouraged innovation. From the serials of Louis Feuillade to the first auteur pieces of Abel Gance, this decade is rich in cinematic marvels.
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.
