Film Synopsis

Bernard Corain is an important French industrialist who frequently makes business trips across the Iron Curtain.  Prior to one of these trips, he is contacted by French secret services and invited to take part in a top secret mission.  Without attracting the attention of the authorities, he is to make contact with a senior civil servant who intends leaving East Germany so that he can defect to the West.  On the face of it, the mission appears straightfoward and Corain readily agrees to go along with it.  But once it is under way it soon becomes apparent that many unforeseen dangers lie ahead, and Corain may well be putting his life on the line...

The best of British film comedies
sb-img-15
British cinema excels in comedy, from the genius of Will Hay to the camp lunacy of the Carry Ons.
The best of American film noir
sb-img-9
In the 1940s, the shadowy, skewed visual style of 1920s German expressionism was taken up by directors of American thrillers and psychological dramas, creating that distinctive film noir look.
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 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 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.
