Film Synopsis
Having led too active a life, the Marquis de Taupignac has grown old
before his time and leads a dull existence, confined to his
château. The village is just as morose, so to liven things
up the Marquis invites a fairground troupe and arranges a competition:

suitors keen to make honest women of them.

The best of Japanese cinema
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.
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.
From Jean Renoir to François Truffaut, French cinema has no shortage of truly great filmmakers, each bringing a unique approach to the art of filmmaking.
