Film Synopsis
Astérix and Obélix have their work cut out when they are
tasked with making a man of Goudurix, their chieftain's adolescent
nephew. Not only is Goudurix a coward of the first rank, he shows
no sign of changing no matter what the well-meaning Astérix
throws at him. Meanwhile, the Vikings have arrived in Gaul,
looking for a 'champion of fear' who will bring them success in their
subsequent raids. When Goudurix is kidnapped by the Vikings
Astérix and Obélix hastily set about rescuing him.

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.
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.
In the 1910s, French cinema led the way with a new industry which actively encouraged innovation. From the serials of Louis Feuillade to the first auteur pieces of Abel Gance, this decade is rich in cinematic marvels.
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.
