Film Synopsis
The celebrated entomologist Monsieur Papillot couldn't be happier when his daughter Paulette
marries his shy assistant, Edmond. His wife is less keen on the union and intends
to exploit any occasion which may lead to a divorce. Her wish is that Paulette will
marry Coco La Baule, the son of her own secret lover. Such an opportunity arrives
when the newly weds return early from their honeymoon. Edmond tells his stepfather
the bad news. Whilst making love to Paulette on the train, he was interrupted by
a customs inspector. Since then, every time he approaches his wife with amorous
intent, his head is filled with the words “Have you anything to declare?” Realising
that his daughter's marriage is in jeopardy, Papillot consults a psychologist and then
decides to seek help from the women of a dubious nightclub…

The meaning of life, the trauma of existence and the nature of faith - welcome to the stark and enlightening world of the world's greatest filmmaker.
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.
Science-fiction came into its own in B-movies of the 1950s, but it remains a respected and popular genre, bursting into the mainstream in the late 1970s.
From its birth in 1895, cinema has been an essential part of French culture. Now it is one of the most dynamic, versatile and important of the arts in France.
