Film Synopsis
To celebrate their tenth wedding anniversary, Jeanne and Bruno invite
their friends to a special kind of party in their country of
origin. The couple insist that their guests set aside their
inhibitions and taboos for several hours and surrender completely to
what is effectively a bacchanalian orgy. As a violent storm rages
in the countryside outside the house, a party just as fierce rages
within its walls...
Continental Films, quality cinema under the Nazi Occupation
At the time of the Nazi Occupation of France during WWII, the German-run company Continental produced some of the finest films made in France in the 1940s.
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.
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.
