Film Synopsis
Professor Buck is tasked with inaugurating a museum that has been built
with a donation from an anonymous benefactor. He discovers that
the museum's mysterious sponsor is his brother's wife, a former dancer
with whom he has never got on. All turns out for the best
when his daughter falls in love with Jim, the ex-dancer's
son.
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.
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 1920s French cinema was at its most varied and stylish - witness the achievements of Abel Gance, Marcel L'Herbier, Jean Epstein and Jacques Feyder.
