Film Synopsis
Ariane is an international adventuress who has grown tired of her old life
and longs for a more peaceful existence, in the company of her one true soul
mate. She has her opportunity to change her ways when, by chance, she
meets a young painter with whom she has a brief but idyllic love affair.
With the police on her heels, Ariane is glad of the temporary refuge of the
sanatorium where the painter is being treated. Finally, she decides
she must give herself up to the authorities, confident that once she has
served her time in prison her lover will still be waiting for her, willing
to resume their erstwhile romance...

The brighter side of Franz Kafka
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.
Since the 1920s, Hollywood has dominated the film industry, but that doesn't mean American cinema is all bad - America has produced so many great films that you could never watch them all in one lifetime.
