Gabrielle, a pharmacist and single mother in her forties, has struggled to

his own. Desperation drives Gabrielle to take the matter up with Simon's
father, Ange. A committed bachelor who has made a success of his career

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.
In the 1940s, the shadowy, skewed visual style of 1920s German expressionism was taken up by directors of American thrillers and psychological dramas, creating that distinctive film noir look.
