Faut réparer Sophie (1933)
Directed by Alexandre Ryder

Comedy

Film Synopsis

Sophie lives in a large apartment building in which her father is employed as the concierge.  The latter is a stiff, upright man who will tolerate no nonsense from the building's tenants, and even less from his daughter.  When, one day, he sees Sophie being tenderly embraced by a man he does not recognise the concierge's umbrage goes into overload.  In fact the over-attentive father has managed to get the wrong end of the stick and doesn't realise that the object of his loathing, a viscount, has come to pay a call on his fiancée on the fifth floor.  The concierge is implacable and demands that his daughter's honour be satisfied with a suitable reparation.  Sophie's devoted fiancé sees the matter very differently...

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.
The best of American film noir
sb-img-9
In the 1940s, the shadowy, skewed visual style of 1920s German expressionism was taken up by directors of American thrillers and psychological dramas, creating that distinctive film noir look.
