Try as she might, Darling always seem to make the wrong life
choices. Yet whilst she suffers from the slings and arrows that
Fate keeps hurling down on her, she refuses to be beaten. Yes,
life is a struggle and she often ends up flat on her face like a cheap
vaudeville act. But she perseveres, each setback merely
galvanising her future efforts to succeed. Is she wonder-woman or
blunder-woman?

French cinema during the Nazi Occupation
Even in the dark days of the Occupation, French cinema continued to impress with its artistry and diversity.
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.
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.
