Film Synopsis
The head of a branch of the Trans-Saharan Company has his ordered existence
thrown into disarray when his ex-wife suddenly re-enters his wife.
He had hoped that he had seen the last of this despicable monster, a woman
with absolutely no scruples, and who seemed to take a mad delight in being
unfaithful to him and ruining him. Her next hapless victim is a young
radio operator, who cannot help falling in love with her. Blind to
the woman's inner failings, he is overwhelmed with his feelings for her.
When she is killed during an attack by blood-thirsty raiders he is so devastated
that he is driven to kill himself...

The very best sci-fi movies
Science-fiction came into its own in B-movies of the 1950s, but it remains a respected and popular genre, bursting into the mainstream in the late 1970s.
In his letters to his friends and family, Franz Kafka gives us a rich self-portrait that is surprisingly upbeat, nor the angst-ridden soul we might expect.
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.
