Directed by Steven Spielberg

Adventure / Family / Fantasy
aka: Roald Dahl's The BFG

Film Synopsis

Sophie, a ten-year-old boarder at an orphanage in London, is an insomniac who gets through the night by reading voraciously.  One night, she sees an aged, seven-metre high giant outside the building and is immediately afraid.  Everyone knows that giants are despicable fiends who like nothing better than to eat little boys and girls.  But Sophie's giant is different - he is kind and gentle, and a vegetarian to boot.  Sophie soon takes a liking to her BFG (Big Friendly Giant).  Knowing that he cannot let the little girl go now that he has seen her, the giant has no option but to take her with him to the kingdom of the giants.  He explains to her that his work consists of capturing dreams and dispersing them amongst sleeping children.  Sophie is pleased to assist the giant in his task, but her presence soon attracts the attention of other giants, none of whom is as agreeable as the one she has befriended...

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.
The very best of the French New Wave
sb-img-14
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.
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 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 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.
