Film Synopsis

As a result of serving a protracted stretch in prison, Rose, a 30-year-old living in the north of France, finds she has become estranged from her son Michaël.  She works long hours in a supermarket but is eager to reconnect with her son, a sulky 11-year-old who prefers the company of his adolescent friends to that of his mother.  Realising that her son has a keen interest in wrestling, Rose decides to create her own wrestling team with her friends and work colleagues.  It is a desperate gamble, but will Michaël respond kindly to his mother's attempts to connect with him or will it merely widen the already existing gulf between them...?

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.
The very best French thrillers
sb-img-12
It was American film noir and pulp fiction that kick-started the craze for thrillers in 1950s France and made it one of the most popular and enduring genres.
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 very best period film dramas
sb-img-20
Is there any period of history that has not been vividly brought back to life by cinema? Historical movies offer the ultimate in escapism.
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.
