Kubrick (so called because of his passion for cinema) has one ambition:
to make his own film and win the Palme d'Or at Cannes. But for a
young man living in the working class suburbs of Paris is this a
realistic dream? Fate gives him a helping hand when his
friend Toxic turns up with a lorry filled with cameras, lights and all
the other paraphernalia needed to make a film (all stolen from a film
set). Scarcely able to believe his good fortune, Kubrick and his
friends waste no time writing a script, casting the actors and
recruiting technicians. But try as he might, and despite the
enthusiasm of everyone involved, Kubrick just can't put together the
masterpiece he had envisaged making...

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 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.
