Directed by Paul Vecchiali

Drama

Film Synopsis

Rosa, a prostitute, lives in the busy Halles district of Paris.  Young and lively, willing to indulge any fantasy, she has no shortage of clients.  Today she is 20, and Gilbert, her pimp, has organised a banquet in her honour.  This is how she comes to meet Julien, a handsome young worker.  It is love at first sight, for both of them.  But the flame of true love is hard to ignite in this milieu, and even harder to keep alight...

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.
The best of British film comedies
sb-img-15
British cinema excels in comedy, from the genius of Will Hay to the camp lunacy of the Carry Ons.
The very best American film comedies
sb-img-18
American film comedy had its heyday in the 1920s and '30s, but it remains an important genre and has given American cinema some of its enduring classics.
The best French war films ever made
sb-img-6
For a nation that was badly scarred by both World Wars, is it so surprising that some of the most profound and poignant war films were made in France?
The brighter side of Franz Kafka
sb-img-1
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.
