On the borders of Siberia, Grigory succumbs to the charms of Tamara, a beautiful country girl, to the extent that he forgets the young woman he is supposed to marry.  Overtaken by his passion, he is drawn into committing a crime that ruins not only his own existence, but also the lives of those who love him.

Forget Bollywood, the best of India's cinema is to be found elsewhere, most notably in the extraordinary work of Satyajit Ray.
The best of American film noir

In the 1940s, the shadowy, skewed visual style of 1920s German expressionism was taken up by directors of American thrillers and psychological dramas, creating that distinctive film noir look.

British cinema excels in comedy, from the genius of Will Hay to the camp lunacy of the Carry Ons.
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.
The best of Japanese cinema
sb-img-21
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.
