aka: The Secret Adventures of Gustave Klopp
Film Synopsis
Gustave suffers from chronic narcolepsy. He has a habit of
falling asleep anywhere and at any time, which presents something of a
handicap for his professional life. The upside is that he can
live, in his dreams, the most fantastic adventures. As he falls
asleep, Gustave becomes an invincible superhero. His
psychoanalyst, Samuel Pupkin, realises that he can profit from
Gustave's fanciful dream experiences. With the help of Guy
Bennet, a failed comic, Samuel sets about publishing a series of
adventures based on what Gustave tells him...

The best French Films of the 1910s
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.
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.
Franz Kafka's letters to his fiancée Felice Bauer not only reveal a soul in torment; they also give us a harrowing self-portrait of a man appalled by his own existence.
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.
