T'es folle ou quoi? (1982) Directed by Michel Gérard
Comedy
Film Synopsis
Jean-François Sevran is a chronically shy individual who happily cohabits
with his boss Dominique Lombardi, a television director. Lombardi is
open about his homosexuality with Sevran, although their relationship remains
strictly platonic, partly because the latter, younger man is still uncertain
about his sexual identity. In the course of making a series of TV documentaries
on senior civil servants, Lombardi invites his compliant protégé
to interview the high-powered technocrat Florence Deprelet. Contrary
to his initial expectations, Sevran finds Florence a charming and likeable
person, and before he knows it he is head over heels in love with her.
This is one twist that Lombardi could never have foreseen...

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.
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.
