Directed by Philippe Harel

Film Synopsis

It has been a full decade since Cora, Nadine, Mathieu and Louis survived their disastrous walking holiday in Corsica.  Now Mathieu and his brother Louis run a photocopying shop together in Paris, whilst Cora has married a divorcee named Jean-Jacques.  Nadine still hasn't found the great love of her life, but she makes do with Hervé, a married man who is in no hurry to get a divorce.  The four friends agree to spend another holiday together, this time in the somewhat more hospitable environs of the French Riviera.  After what happened to them when they last met they are taking no chances.

Not long after the group's happy reunion in St Tropez, Mathieu runs into the tour guide who made their last holiday such a major event in their lives - Éric.  Glad to have met up with his former fellow ramblers, Éric offers his services as a guide on their next tour of the region.  This is probably the last thing that Mathieu and his friends would want to subject themselves to, given the hellish nightmare that Éric led them into the last time they met.  But this is the Côte d'Azur, not Corsica.  Surely nothing can go wrong in such a safe and civilised part of France?  As the holidaymakers discovers, Éric can always be relied upon to turn a fiesta into a fiasco, whatever the location...

The best of American cinema
sb-img-26
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 sci-fi movies
sb-img-19
Science-fiction came into its own in B-movies of the 1950s, but it remains a respected and popular genre, bursting into the mainstream in the late 1970s.
Continental Films, quality cinema under the Nazi Occupation
sb-img-5
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 best of American film noir
sb-img-9
In the 1940s, the shadowy, skewed visual style of 1920s German expressionism was taken up by directors of American thrillers and psychological dramas, creating that distinctive film noir look.
The brighter side of Franz Kafka
sb-img-1
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.
