Film Synopsis
When a consignment of miniature nuclear warheads is stolen in the
United States, the famous American agent Nick Carter is sent to Antwerp
to begin his most important assignment yet. Carter has just four
days to find the missing rockets before they are detonated, releasing a
lethal gas over the whole of Europe. Not long after meeting up
with Janos, his local contact who is working undercover as a circus
manager, Carter is repeatedly attacked by unknown assailants. His
main suspect is the engineer Beckmann, but his interest is soon
diverted to his ex-wife Dora, whose relations with a certain Hebert may
not be exclusively amorous...

The greatest French Films of all time
With so many great films to choose from, it's nigh on impossible to compile a short-list of the best 15 French films of all time - but here's our feeble attempt to do just that.
A wave of fresh talent in the late 1950s, early 1960s brought about a dramatic renaissance in French cinema, placing the auteur at the core of France's 7th art.
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.
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.
