Film Synopsis
Once more lured into the corridors of time, Godefroy de Montmirail and his
faithful vassal Jacquouille end up being thrown into one of the most turbulent
and bloody periods in the history of France: the French revolution.
Just their luck to arrive at the time when Robespierre's Reign of Terror
is well underway and heads are falling like autumn leaves. It so happens
that the descendents of Jacquouille La Fripouille are diehard revolutionaries
who have confiscated the château and all the personal effects of the
descendents of Godefroy de Montmirail, a breed of arrogant aristocrats whose
worthless lives hang by the thinnest of threads...

The very best French thrillers
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 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.
American film comedy had its heyday in the 1920s and '30s, but it remains an important genre and has given American cinema some of its enduring classics.
