Pas son genre (2014)
Directed by Lucas Belvaux

Romance / Comedy
aka: Not My Type

Film Synopsis

Clément, a young Parisian philosophy teacher, is far from happy with his posting to Arras.  He misses the bright lights of the capital and doesn't know what to do with his spare hours.  Then he meets Jennifer, an attractive hairdresser who soon becomes his lover.  Whereas Clément's literary diet is monopolised by the works of such intellectual giants as Kant and Proust, Jennifer has yet to progress beyond popular trashy novels and celebrity mags.  They may share a physical and emotional attraction but is this enough to overcome the cultural and social barriers that separate them...?

The best of American film noir
sb-img-9
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 best of Indian cinema
sb-img-22
Forget Bollywood, the best of India's cinema is to be found elsewhere, most notably in the extraordinary work of Satyajit Ray.
The very best of French film comedy
sb-img-7
Thanks to comedy giants such as Louis de Funès, Fernandel, Bourvil and Pierre Richard, French cinema abounds with comedy classics of the first rank.
The very best of German cinema
sb-img-25
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 brighter side of Franz Kafka
sb-img-1
In his letters to his friends and family, Franz Kafka gives us a rich self-portrait that is surprisingly upbeat, nor the angst-ridden soul we might expect.
