Film Synopsis

Marianne Lane is one of the biggest rock stars in the world.  Now she is badly in need of a break, if only to rest her voice, so she jets off for a relaxing holiday on the tranquil Mediterranean island of Pantelleria with Paul, her present partner.  Marianne's hopes of a peaceful few weeks in the son are shattered when her record producer Harry Hawkes shows up unexpectedly, in the company of his daughter Penelope.  It was Harry who first brought Paul and Marianne together, and he now bitterly regrets having done so.  How he would like nothing better than to push Paul aside and reclaim his former lover.  Unfortunately for him, Marianne happens to be perfectly happy with Paul, who she regards as the ideal catch.  Harry isn't so easily deterred, and it isn't long before his daughter is making eyes at Paul...

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 best of Japanese cinema
sb-img-21
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.
The very best of French film comedy
sb-img-7
Thanks to comedy giants such as Louis de Funès, Fernandel, Bourvil and Pierre Richard, French cinema abounds with comedy classics of the first rank.
The very best period film dramas
sb-img-20
Is there any period of history that has not been vividly brought back to life by cinema? Historical movies offer the ultimate in escapism.
The very best American film comedies
sb-img-18
American film comedy had its heyday in the 1920s and '30s, but it remains an important genre and has given American cinema some of its enduring classics.
