Comedy

Film Synopsis
Once he has completed his latest novel, the writer Alessandro Battavia
commits suicide, in order that he can be true to his art. Nord
and Evangile want to discover whether or not they are characters
in a book. To that end, and not liking their own personal story,
they decide to meet the all-powerful writer. What if we do not really
exist? What if we are merely characters in a book written by
God...?

The very best sci-fi movies
Science-fiction came into its own in B-movies of the 1950s, but it remains a respected and popular genre, bursting into the mainstream in the late 1970s.
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.
In the 1920s French cinema was at its most varied and stylish - witness the achievements of Abel Gance, Marcel L'Herbier, Jean Epstein and Jacques Feyder.
