Film Synopsis
To celebrate their tenth wedding anniversary, Jeanne and Bruno invite
their friends to a special kind of party in their country of
origin. The couple insist that their guests set aside their
inhibitions and taboos for several hours and surrender completely to
what is effectively a bacchanalian orgy. As a violent storm rages
in the countryside outside the house, a party just as fierce rages
within its walls...

The best French Films of the 1910s
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.
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.
It was American film noir and pulp fiction that kick-started the craze for thrillers in 1950s France and made it one of the most popular and enduring genres.
