Film Synopsis
Julie is a vivacious young woman who is constantly unhappy in
love. When she is at her lowest ebb she comes across a self-help
book which promises her success both in her work and her love
life. Assiduously, she sets about following the advice in the
book, to the consternation of her sceptical two friends, Louise and
Rose, whose own lives are not much to write home about. As Louise
embarks on a clandestine affair with her boss, Rose goes through the
motions of sustaining a relationship that has run its course.
Meanwhile, Julie has a series of encounters that may, possibly, change
her life for the better...

The very best of the French New Wave
A wave of fresh talent in the late 1950s, early 1960s brought about a dramatic renaissance in French cinema, placing the auteur at the core of France's 7th art.
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.
