Film Synopsis

Michel, a jazz lover, has just unearthed a rare album which he intends listening to in the quiet of his living room.  But as he does so it soon appears that the whole world has conspired to rob him of this treat.  His wife has chosen this moment to make an important revelation, his son turns up unannounced, a friend pays him an unexpected visit, and his mother constantly rings him up on his phone.  To cap it all, it turns out that this of all days is Neighbours' Day.  Michel is prepared to go to any lengths to steal his hour of peace...

The brighter side of Franz Kafka

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 fantasy films in French cinema

Whilst the horror genre is under-represented in French cinema, there are still a fair number of weird and wonderful forays into the realms of fantasy.
The best of Japanese cinema

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.
