Le Temps des cerises (1937)
Directed by Jean-Paul Le Chanois

Drama
aka: The Time of the Cherries

Film Synopsis

On the one hand there are the wealthy industrialists who do everything in their power to avoid paying tax.  On the other, there are the workers, who live in abject misery because they are not paid enough.  It has always been thus.  In four different periods (1895, 1900, 1914, 1937), we see the same gulf between the fraudulent rich and the honest poor.

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.
The very best period film dramas
sb-img-20
Is there any period of history that has not been vividly brought back to life by cinema? Historical movies offer the ultimate in escapism.
