Film Synopsis

After a disastrous experience during the making of a film in another country, 26-year-old Ana heads back to her home town of Strasbourg.  With a relationship break-down still preying on her mind, Ana needs some time out to take stock of her life, and to that end she decides to spend some time with her grandmother, to whom she is closely attached.  When her dear relative has to go into hospital, Ana decides to undertake some home improvements for her, such as replacing the old bath tub with a new shower.  Her period of re-adjustment is perturbed by the sudden unexpected return of her ex, but she has more than enough to keep her occupied.  She has allowed herself a full year to put her life in order, which gives her plenty of time to drive about in her Porsche, gather fruit with her mother and sleep with her best friend.  At the end of this year of improvised self-indulgences, she is sure to be a better person...

In the 1940s, the shadowy, skewed visual style of 1920s German expressionism was taken up by directors of American thrillers and psychological dramas, creating that distinctive film noir look.
The very best of German cinema

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 very best sci-fi movies
sb-img-19
Science-fiction came into its own in B-movies of the 1950s, but it remains a respected and popular genre, bursting into the mainstream in the late 1970s.
The best of American cinema
sb-img-26
Since the 1920s, Hollywood has dominated the film industry, but that doesn't mean American cinema is all bad - America has produced so many great films that you could never watch them all in one lifetime.
