Comedy
aka: On the Other Side of the Freeway
Film Synopsis
Early one morning in Bobigny, in the northern suburbs of Paris, the
body of a dead woman is found near to an illicit gambling joint.
The dead woman is Eponine Chaligny, the wife of Jean-Éric
Chaligny, an influential French businessman. The murder has taken
place at a time of severe social unrest in France, and this is
reflected in the two contrasting individuals who are assigned to
investigate the crime: local cop Ousmane Diakité and Parisian
police chief François Monge, two people who inhabit very
different worlds...

The very best French thrillers
It was American film noir and pulp fiction that kick-started the craze for thrillers in 1950s France and made it one of the most popular and enduring genres.
The cinema of Japan is noteworthy for its purity, subtlety and visual impact. The films of Ozu, Mizoguchi and Kurosawa are sublime masterpieces of film poetry.
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.
American film comedy had its heyday in the 1920s and '30s, but it remains an important genre and has given American cinema some of its enduring classics.
