Film Synopsis
In 1914, 16-year-old Roger spends his summer holidays at the family
château in the country. Here he amuses himself watching the
coming and goings of the people around him. His fun is curtailed
when war is declared and all able-bodied men are called up. In their
absence, Roger becomes a busy lover, happily seducing all the women in
the area. When the men return from the war numerous marriages
ensue, so that the many babies resulting from Roger's amorous escapades
can take a legitimate name. Meanwhile, Roger is back in Paris,
resuming his studies...
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.
