Drama
aka: Every Man Is My Enemy
Film Synopsis
Tough American hoodlum Tony Costa has high ambitions when he arrives in the
south of France in preparation for his next big job. His intention
is to pull off the crime of the century, which given his remarkable safecracking
skills is certainly an achievable objective. Tony is not a man who
does things by halves. He believes that if you are a crook you are
a crook for life. To him, there is nothing more contemptible than a
crook who goes straight. It is the worst kind of treason. He
is busy preparing for his ambitious heist when he comes into contact with
one of his old criminal associates. To Tony's infinite disgust, the
latter has given up his old life of crime and is now a police chief.
This revelation is more than he can stomach...

The best films of Ingmar Bergman
The meaning of life, the trauma of existence and the nature of faith - welcome to the stark and enlightening world of the world's greatest filmmaker.
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.
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.
