Surprise Party (1983)
Directed by Roger Vadim

Comedy / Drama

Film Synopsis

The town of Amboise is one of the true gems of the Loire Valley.  It is here, in the 1950s, that a group of friends get themselves into trouble as a result of a dare that goes somewhat awry.  It begins just after Anne has passed her baccalaureate with flying colours.  She has promised her friends that she will spend a cosy night with her friend Marie-Joe in the bedroom of Henri IV at the famous Château de Chenonceau, and this is what she does.  The night passes off without any incident, but the girls get a rude awakening the following morning when they are surprised by a party of visitors.  How is Anne and her friends to avoid the scandal that is now heading their way...?

The very best sci-fi movies
sb-img-19
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.
The brighter side of Franz Kafka
sb-img-1
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 very best period film dramas
sb-img-20
Is there any period of history that has not been vividly brought back to life by cinema? Historical movies offer the ultimate in escapism.
The best of Russian cinema
sb-img-24
There's far more to Russian movies than the monumental works of Sergei Eisenstein - the wondrous films of Andrei Tarkovsky for one.
The very best of French film comedy
sb-img-7
Thanks to comedy giants such as Louis de Funès, Fernandel, Bourvil and Pierre Richard, French cinema abounds with comedy classics of the first rank.
