Ça commence par la fin (2010) Directed by Michaël Cohen
Drama / Romance
aka: It Begins with the End
Film Synopsis
One summer, Jean has a chance encounter with Gabrielle, a former lover of
his, in Paris. A great deal of water has flown under the bridge since
they last met - several bridges in fact - but it is clear to them both that
the old times still mean a lot to them. Meeting up now, after all this
time, it hardly seems that they have been apart, and something of the tenderness
of their former romance remains, apparent in the way they look at one another.
Jean is taken aback when Gabrielle tells him that she has met another man
and is perfectly happy in her present relationship. As the evening
rolls by, scarcely noticed, the two ex-lovers find themselves falling in
love again...

Aka:It Begins with the End
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.
From Jean Renoir to François Truffaut, French cinema has no shortage of truly great filmmakers, each bringing a unique approach to the art of filmmaking.
Continental Films, quality cinema under the Nazi Occupation
At the time of the Nazi Occupation of France during WWII, the German-run company Continental produced some of the finest films made in France in the 1940s.
Since the 1920s, Hollywood has dominated the film industry, but that doesn't mean American cinema is all bad - America has produced so many great films that you could never watch them all in one lifetime.
