Film Synopsis

Monsieur Maurice is the manager of a large department store in Paris.  A kind man, he takes under his wing 20-year-old René, a trainee shop assistant.  Life has been hard for René.  He lost his parents when he was a child and has grown up in an orphanage.   His dream is to become a blues guitarist.  This is the kind of music he likes best and he hopes that his guitar playing will allow him to win the affections of the girl he has fallen in love with, Nathalie.  Just when everything appears to be going well for René, his world suddenly falls apart.  Monsieur Maurice is forced to retire and is replaced by someone who is far less sympathetic.  His guitar hero dies.  And Nathalie rejects him...

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.
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 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 French Films of the 1910s
sb-img-2
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.
The best of Russian cinema
sb-img-24
There's far more to Russian movies than the monumental works of Sergei Eisenstein - the wondrous films of Andrei Tarkovsky for one.
