Sonia is a young girl from the provinces who has barely been in Paris five
minutes before Cupid strikes his fatal blow. As soon as she claps eyes
on Ivan she knows at once that this divine creature is the man she has been
waiting for all her life. He is her Prince Charming, her soul mate,
her ideal companion - everything she could possible want in a man!
Now that she has found the object of her heart's desire, she has not the
least intention of letting her darling Valentine go - which is somewhat unfortunate
as he cannot stand the sight of her and wishes she would drop dead.
Ivan is a small-time crook by profession, and a pretty nasty piece of work
by character. If there's one thing he can do without it is torrents
of unwelcome adulation from a woman who is patently off her rocker.
Some marriages are made in Heaven. Any fool can see that Sonia's intended
union with Ivan has been forged in the deepest pit of Hell. The more
ardently Sonia goes after her beloved hero, the more fervently does Ivan
want to force her through a razor-tipped meat grinder. Sonia appears
not to be concerned by her beau idéal's obvious lack of interest in
her. She is a patient woman and she knows that sooner or later Ivan
will give in and whisk her up the aisle towards a life of marital bliss.
Giving into Sonia is just about the last thing Ivan has in mind...

Kafka's tortuous trial of love
Franz Kafka's letters to his fiancée Felice Bauer not only reveal a soul in torment; they also give us a harrowing self-portrait of a man appalled by his own existence.
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.
