Film Synopsis
Louise is a literary adviser for a publishing company in France.
One day, she receives a manuscript from the United States and cannot
help but be profoundly moved when she starts to read it. Straight
away, Louise begins an intimate correspondence with the book's author,
Paul Morisson, and uses her influence to get his work
published. As the exchange of letters continues over many years
Louise realises that she is in love with Paul, although she is already
in a relationship with another, older man, Serge. When the writer
decides to visit Louise in France, she becomes so afraid of the
intensity of her feelings for him that she takes flight...

The history of French cinema
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.
From Jean Renoir to François Truffaut, French cinema has no shortage of truly great filmmakers, each bringing a unique approach to the art of filmmaking.
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.
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.
