Film Synopsis
With Christmas approaching, Sam and his best friend Khalid dress
themselves up as Santa Claus so that they can rob as many people as
they can at the Galeries Lafayette. Surrounded by children, Sam
is forced into telling a fairy tale - the story of Aladdin. In
the guise of the Arabian Nights hero, Sam finds himself at the heart of
ancient Baghdad, a city in the tyrannous grip of the mighty Vizir, who

of his faithful Genie, Aladdin will have his work cut out if he is to
rescue Khalid and steal the heart of the beautiful Princess Shallia...

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.
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.
