Film Synopsis
Late one November, Jérôme decides to abandon his family
small holding in the country and find work in town. He manages to
find a job with the town council. Assisted by Lucien, a
40-something municipal employee, he sets about putting up the town's
Christmas decorations. Meanwhile, the council have decided to
outlaw begging in the town. Jérôme is appalled when
he learns that La Chignole, a vagrant he has befriended, is among the
undesirables to be driven out of the town...
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.
In the 1920s French cinema was at its most varied and stylish - witness the achievements of Abel Gance, Marcel L'Herbier, Jean Epstein and Jacques Feyder.
