Soriba Samb, 30, is a film technician who has never set foot outside
his native Senegal. When he is offered an internship with a
Parisian film laboratory, he jumps at the chance. On leaving
Dakar, he has two missions. First, he must deliver Idi, the small

up his childhood friend Issa, whom he has lost sight of since he left
seven years ago. But Paris is a big city...

The greatest French Films of all time
With so many great films to choose from, it's nigh on impossible to compile a short-list of the best 15 French films of all time - but here's our feeble attempt to do just that.
In the 1920s French cinema was at its most varied and stylish - witness the achievements of Abel Gance, Marcel L'Herbier, Jean Epstein and Jacques Feyder.
In the 1910s, French cinema led the way with a new industry which actively encouraged innovation. From the serials of Louis Feuillade to the first auteur pieces of Abel Gance, this decade is rich in cinematic marvels.
