Film Synopsis

In 1932, a worker in a Soviet factory is skimming through a German magazine when his eyes fall on some photographs of Berlin.  This provokes him to recall his past, with regret.  The man is Paul Martin.  Before the war, he was a successful car manufacturer in Germany.  In 1916, whilst fighting for his country, Paul sustained an injury that temporarily robbed him of his memory.  His physical and mental wounds changed him so much that no one, neither his wife nor his friends, recognised him.  With the help of his friend, Julot, Paul made a determined attempt to convince the authorities of his identity, but his efforts were in vain.  In the end, he had no choice but to change his name and begin a new life...

The greatest French film directors
sb-img-29
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.
The greatest French Films of all time
sb-img-4
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.
The very best of German cinema
sb-img-25
German cinema was at its most inspired in the 1920s, strongly influenced by the expressionist movement, but it enjoyed a renaissance in the 1970s.
The best of British film comedies
sb-img-15
British cinema excels in comedy, from the genius of Will Hay to the camp lunacy of the Carry Ons.
The very best French thrillers
sb-img-12
It was American film noir and pulp fiction that kick-started the craze for thrillers in 1950s France and made it one of the most popular and enduring genres.
