Film Synopsis

Horace Tumelat is the leader of a powerful political party, the R.A.S.  At the zenith of his political career, Tumelat learns of the suicide of his old uncle Eusèbe, who brought him up.  It transpires that for many years Eusèbe had been holding a man prisoner in his house, a blackmailer who threatened to expose Tumelat as a Nazi collaborator.  Tumelat discovers that, before he died, his uncle left him a letter, which has mysteriously disappeared.  As the politician sets out to find the missing letter, he attracts the attention of the policemen who are investigating his uncle's death - they are far from convinced that he killed himself...

The best of British film comedies

British cinema excels in comedy, from the genius of Will Hay to the camp lunacy of the Carry Ons.
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 Indian cinema

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.
