Ôtez-moi d'un doute (2017)
Directed by Carine Tardieu

Comedy / Drama
aka: Just to Be Sure

Film Synopsis

Being a bomb disposal expert by profession, Erwan likes to think he has nerves of steel, or at least knows how to keep his head in a difficult situation.  But this seemingly imperturbable middle-aged Breton suddenly has the ground ripped from under him when he learns that the man he thought was his father has no genealogical connection with him at all.  From the moment this bombshell hits him, Erwan has one thought in his head - to find the man who is his biological father.

It isn't long before Erwan finds the object of his quest - a quiet, respectable old man named Joseph.  Within minutes of their first meeting, Erwan establishes a close bond of affection with his real father.  But then a second bombshell lands at his feet.  The young woman, Anna, he has recently developed strong amorous feelings for turns out to be Joseph's daughter - and, by consequence, Erwan's half-sister.  Despite Erwan's best efforts to keep his problems to himself, his adopted father soon realises that something is amiss...

Since the 1920s, Hollywood has dominated the film industry, but that doesn't mean American cinema is all bad - America has produced so many great films that you could never watch them all in one lifetime.
The best French war films ever made

For a nation that was badly scarred by both World Wars, is it so surprising that some of the most profound and poignant war films were made in France?
The very best of German cinema

The history of French cinema

The best of Japanese cinema

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.
