woman. How delighted he is to find the woman of his dreams, in
flesh and blood, in the course of a discussion with an Iraqi

but Vittoria proves unsusceptible to his charms and before he knows it
she is gone. The poet decides he must find her, at any cost...
Science-fiction came into its own in B-movies of the 1950s, but it remains a respected and popular genre, bursting into the mainstream in the late 1970s.
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.
