Drama
aka: Oscar and the Lady in Pink
Film Synopsis
Oscar, a ten-year-old-boy, is staying in a hospital for sick
children. Neither his doctors nor his parents have the courage to
tell him the truth about his illness. Only Rose, the
down-to-Earth woman who delivers the pizzas, can bring herself to
communicate openly with him. Seeing the young boy's distress,
Rose suggests they play a game. They will pretend that every day
in the hospital counts for ten years in the world outside. That
way, Oscar will be sure to live a full life, whatever the
outcome. To learn what Oscar is feeling, Rose persuades him to
write a letter to God each day. As a result, Rose and Oscar
become the closest of friends, but neither could have imagined the
extent to which their friendship will affect both of their lives...

The best of American cinema
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.
In the 1920s French cinema was at its most varied and stylish - witness the achievements of Abel Gance, Marcel L'Herbier, Jean Epstein and Jacques Feyder.
