Film Synopsis
Three couples from very different backgrounds have the same
problem. Their lives are being ruined by their children!
Anna and David are ruthlessly dominated by their two
daughters. Elisabeth and François-Xavier know that
the Devil himself hides behind the angelic faces of their three
offspring. And as for Marie and Francis... they
cannot put up with 10-year-old Rebecca for a moment more. Enough
is enough! Driven to distraction, the three sets of parents
decide to consult a child psychiatrist in the hope of regaining their
authority and preserving their sanity. Will they succeed in
taming their wayward children or will the vicious little monsters
triumph once more...?

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?
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.
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.
