Les Vacances du petit Nicolas (2014)
Directed by Laurent Tirard

Comedy

Film Synopsis

At long last the end of the school year has arrived, and with it the long-awaited departure for the summer holidays.  Little Nicolas, his parents and Grandma take to the highway and head for the sea - their destination: Hôtel Beau-Rivage.  No sooner has Nicolas set foot on the beach than he acquires a new entourage of friends: Blaise, who lives in the area and so isn't really on holiday; Fructueux, who loves everything, even fish; Djodjo, who does not talk like the others because (tragically) he is English; Crépin, who cries incessantly; and Côme, one of those pains in the neck who always thinks he is right.  Nicolas also meets Isabelle, a little girl whose eyes appear to be constantly fixed on him as though he were some rare and exotic species.  Nicholas soon succumbs to the notion that his parents intend to force him to marry this worrying little creature.  For everyone concerned, this is going to be a holiday to remember...

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 French war films ever made
