Comedy

Film Synopsis

Who would have thought that a car journey to a wedding could be so eventful?  Chantal, Gabrielle and Nelly are three friends, now in their fifties, who have not the slightest inkling of the slew of mishaps and misunderstandings that are about to rain down upon them as they take to the road and head for the island of La Rochelle to attend the wedding of one of their former spouses.  It's an ideal opportunity for the women to exchange confidences and tell a few home truths, but in doing so they can't help falling out and lamenting the way life has treated them so far.  There's nothing like a car journey to make or break a friendship, and, as these three feisty fifty-year-olds soon discover, a trouble shared is a trouble trebled...

sb-img-2
In the 1910s, French cinema led the way with a new industry which actively encouraged innovation. From the serials of Louis Feuillade to the first auteur pieces of Abel Gance, this decade is rich in cinematic marvels.
The very best French thrillers
sb-img-12
It was American film noir and pulp fiction that kick-started the craze for thrillers in 1950s France and made it one of the most popular and enduring genres.
Kafka's tortuous trial of love
sb-img-0
Franz Kafka's letters to his fiancée Felice Bauer not only reveal a soul in torment; they also give us a harrowing self-portrait of a man appalled by his own existence.
The best of American cinema
sb-img-26
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.
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.
