aka: The Lone She Wolf
Film Synopsis
Françoise Tilmont is a former circus star who has recently put
behind her her fairground years. Now employed as en estate agent,
she has found another use for her talents as a flying trapeze
artist. By night, she becomes the 'lone she-wolf', using her acrobatic skills to break into the
luxury villas she has sold, undeterred by the fact that she is
encroaching on the territory of another burglar, Bruno. One day,
she is caught in trap laid for her by Inspector Durieux.
The latter enlists Françoise's help in dismantling a drugs
trafficking and money laundering ring run by two embassy advisers,
Saratoga and Davenport. Françoise's reluctance to assist
the inspector increases when she learns that she must work with her
rival, Bruno...

The best of Japanese cinema
The cinema of Japan is noteworthy for its purity, subtlety and visual impact. The films of Ozu, Mizoguchi and Kurosawa are sublime masterpieces of film poetry.
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.
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.
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.
