Film Synopsis

In 1932, a worker in a Soviet factory is skimming through a German magazine when his eyes fall on some photographs of Berlin.  This provokes him to recall his past, with regret.  The man is Paul Martin.  Before the war, he was a successful car manufacturer in Germany.  In 1916, whilst fighting for his country, Paul sustained an injury that temporarily robbed him of his memory.  His physical and mental wounds changed him so much that no one, neither his wife nor his friends, recognised him.  With the help of his friend, Julot, Paul made a determined attempt to convince the authorities of his identity, but his efforts were in vain.  In the end, he had no choice but to change his name and begin a new life...

The best French Films of the 1920s
sb-img-3
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.
The very best of French film comedy
sb-img-7
Thanks to comedy giants such as Louis de Funès, Fernandel, Bourvil and Pierre Richard, French cinema abounds with comedy classics of the first rank.
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 Russian cinema
sb-img-24
There's far more to Russian movies than the monumental works of Sergei Eisenstein - the wondrous films of Andrei Tarkovsky for one.
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.
