Film Synopsis
The Guilby-Lacourts constitute a mixed family of the kind that is typical
of our times. Comprising a father, stepmother, brother, sister, sister-in-law
and uncle-by-marriage, they make an odd assortment and don't always find
it easy to see eye to eye. One evening, they learn of the death of
a grandfather whom they haven't seen for ten years. What they must
now endure is the unbearably long journey to attend the deceased relative's
funeral. Within the confined space of the family car they have no choice
but to learn to get along, come what may...

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.
From Jean Renoir to François Truffaut, French cinema has no shortage of truly great filmmakers, each bringing a unique approach to the art of filmmaking.
Continental Films, quality cinema under the Nazi Occupation
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.
