Film Synopsis

Alain is a flashy, opportunistic young man who prides himself on the ease with which he can lure beautiful women into bed.  Sylvie is an easy conquest.  Although she is outgoing and confident, she has never had a lover before and so she offers no resistance when Alain works his seductive charms on her.  For her, it is the beginning of an idyllic love story.  For him, it is something much less significant.  Whilst she and Alain are living together in Paris, Sylvie is blissfully unaware that her beau idéal  is seeing another woman, an Iranian princess...

Kafka's tortuous trial of love

Franz Kafka's letters to his fiancée Felice Bauer not only reveal a soul in torment; they also give us a harrowing self-portrait of a man appalled by his own existence.
The very best of German cinema
sb-img-25
German cinema was at its most inspired in the 1920s, strongly influenced by the expressionist movement, but it enjoyed a renaissance in the 1970s.
The best of Japanese cinema
sb-img-21
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.
The best of Russian cinema
sb-img-24
There's far more to Russian movies than the monumental works of Sergei Eisenstein - the wondrous films of Andrei Tarkovsky for one.
