Raymond may have sold his farm but he is too attached to the old place to
want to leave it. With everyone believing he is dead, he hides himself
in a well at the bottom of the yard. From this vantage point, he is
safe to spy on the farm's new owners, Frédéric and Caroline,
and their children. At night, Raymond roams his former home, leading
the children to think that the house is haunted. They throw some objects
down the well and are surprised when they turn up in other places not long
afterwards. On one of his nocturnal prowls Raymond disturbs the family's
dog Zazou and decides to take it back with him to his secret hiding place.
He begins to like his new life and he feels, for the first time, as though
he is part of a family...

The best French war films ever made
For a nation that was badly scarred by both World Wars, is it so surprising that some of the most profound and poignant war films were made in France?
A wave of fresh talent in the late 1950s, early 1960s brought about a dramatic renaissance in French cinema, placing the auteur at the core of France's 7th art.
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.
