Film Synopsis

François is a modest journalist who is not particularly enthused when his boss invites him to write an article on the ordinary French worker.  Acting on the advice of a union official, he pays a call on a man named Claude, but he arrives in a moment of crisis.   Claude is in a state of shock after his wife Lily left him and he is in no mood to talk about his work.  François makes several valiant attempts to restore Claude's spirits, but in vain.  The only solution is to bring Lily and Claude back together again, but this proves to be much harder than even François imagined...

The very best of German cinema
sb-img-25
German cinema was at its most inspired in the 1920s, strongly influenced by the expressionist movement, but it enjoyed a renaissance in the 1970s.
The best of American cinema
sb-img-26
Since the 1920s, Hollywood has dominated the film industry, but that doesn't mean American cinema is all bad - America has produced so many great films that you could never watch them all in one lifetime.
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.
Kafka's tortuous trial of love
sb-img-0
Franz Kafka's letters to his fiancée Felice Bauer not only reveal a soul in torment; they also give us a harrowing self-portrait of a man appalled by his own existence.
The very best fantasy films in French cinema
sb-img-30
Whilst the horror genre is under-represented in French cinema, there are still a fair number of weird and wonderful forays into the realms of fantasy.
