Les Frères Soeur (2000) Directed by Frédéric Jardin
Comedy
aka: The Sister Brothers
Film Synopsis
The Soeur brothers may not have invented cinema, but that doesn't mean
they can't have a go at re-inventing it. Unfortunately, they have
concocted a script that no one will touch with a bargepole - one that
is thicker than Tolstoy's War and
Peace, more convoluted than Proust's À la recherche du temps perdu,
and only slightly less coherent than a Dadaist manifesto. Yet
they persist, gate-crashing parties where they have no place to be in
the hope of finding a kindly backer. In the end they have no
choice but to resort to skulduggery - blackmailing a producer and
kidnapping a scriptwriter. The Soeur brothers are a pair of
undiscovered geniuses, and it looks as if they will stay that way...

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.
In the 1910s, French cinema led the way with a new industry which actively encouraged innovation. From the serials of Louis Feuillade to the first auteur pieces of Abel Gance, this decade is rich in cinematic marvels.
