Film Synopsis
Once he has completed his latest novel, the writer Alessandro Battavia
commits suicide, in order that he can be true to his art. Nord
and Evangile want to discover whether or not they are characters
in a book. To that end, and not liking their own personal story,
they decide to meet the all-powerful writer. What if we do not really
exist? What if we are merely characters in a book written by
God...?

The best of Indian cinema
Forget Bollywood, the best of India's cinema is to be found elsewhere, most notably in the extraordinary work of Satyajit Ray.
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.
From its birth in 1895, cinema has been an essential part of French culture. Now it is one of the most dynamic, versatile and important of the arts in France.
