Film Synopsis

Gustave suffers from chronic narcolepsy.  He has a habit of falling asleep anywhere and at any time, which presents something of a handicap for his professional life.  The upside is that he can live, in his dreams, the most fantastic adventures.  As he falls asleep, Gustave becomes an invincible superhero.  His psychoanalyst, Samuel Pupkin, realises that he can profit from Gustave's fanciful dream experiences.  With the help of Guy Bennet, a failed comic, Samuel sets about publishing a series of adventures based on what Gustave tells him...

The very best of Italian cinema

Fellini, Visconti, Antonioni, De Sica, Pasolini... who can resist the intoxicating charm of Italian cinema?
The best of American film noir

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.

Thanks to comedy giants such as Louis de Funès, Fernandel, Bourvil and Pierre Richard, French cinema abounds with comedy classics of the first rank.
