Drama / Comedy
aka: Sophie's Ways
Film Synopsis
Céline is a free-spirited modern girl who revels in her freedom.
Not for her the shackles of matrimony and motherhood. She intends living
for the moment, as fully and as freely as the laws of the land - and good
taste - will allow. Then she meets Philippe Aignan, a wealthy businessman
who would be a ideal catch for any woman. When she starts going out
with Philippe Céline is confident that this is no different from any
previous liaison she has enjoyed. She'll take what she can from it,
have a good time, and then move on with a pert 'bye, bye Philippe'.
Unfortunately, that is not how things pan out this time. Before she
knows it, Céline is handcuffed in wedlock to a man who manages to
convince her that he is her perfect soul mate. She soon discovers the
error of her ways. Waking up to the suffocating boredom of married
life, Céline realises she has made a big mistake. With a little
help from her friend Julia she will find a way out of her present colourless
mode of existence...

The best of Japanese cinema
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.
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.
In the 1910s, French cinema led the way with a new industry which actively encouraged innovation. From the serials of Louis Feuillade to the first auteur pieces of Abel Gance, this decade is rich in cinematic marvels.
With so many great films to choose from, it's nigh on impossible to compile a short-list of the best 15 French films of all time - but here's our feeble attempt to do just that.
