Drama
aka: Every Man Is My Enemy
Film Synopsis
Tough American hoodlum Tony Costa has high ambitions when he arrives in the
south of France in preparation for his next big job. His intention
is to pull off the crime of the century, which given his remarkable safecracking
skills is certainly an achievable objective. Tony is not a man who
does things by halves. He believes that if you are a crook you are
a crook for life. To him, there is nothing more contemptible than a
crook who goes straight. It is the worst kind of treason. He
is busy preparing for his ambitious heist when he comes into contact with
one of his old criminal associates. To Tony's infinite disgust, the
latter has given up his old life of crime and is now a police chief.
This revelation is more than he can stomach...

The very best fantasy films in French cinema
Whilst the horror genre is under-represented in French cinema, there are still a fair number of weird and wonderful forays into the realms of fantasy.
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.
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.
