Film Synopsis
To celebrate their tenth wedding anniversary, Jeanne and Bruno invite
their friends to a special kind of party in their country of
origin. The couple insist that their guests set aside their
inhibitions and taboos for several hours and surrender completely to
what is effectively a bacchanalian orgy. As a violent storm rages
in the countryside outside the house, a party just as fierce rages
within its walls...

The very best of the French New Wave
A wave of fresh talent in the late 1950s, early 1960s brought about a dramatic renaissance in French cinema, placing the auteur at the core of France's 7th art.
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.
From Jean Renoir to François Truffaut, French cinema has no shortage of truly great filmmakers, each bringing a unique approach to the art of filmmaking.
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.
