In this witty postmodern satire, Vincent Lindon and Alain Cavalier are pals. Like father and son. They sip port in bars dreaming of a film they might make. Together. Then just once in a while, they wear a suit and a tie. Play men of power. See how much trouble they can make. For a laugh. They tell a tall tale that is part personal, part, well – just plain tall. Only, as ever at the movies, there’s that excellent question no one can answer: is it really all make-believe?

Ripped from the headlines of the Outreau case – a French judicial disaster – this film recounts the plight of Alain Marécaux, arrested in 2001 along with his wife for horrible acts of pedophilia they never committed. This is the appalling story of an innocent man’s descent into Hell as he faces an incredibly unfair and inhuman judicial system – the story of his life and relatives, crushed by one of the most heinous miscarriages of justice of our time.

As the French are getting ready to go to the polls to elect their new president, presidential candidate Nicolas Sarkozy has shut himself away in his home.

Camus seen through women’s eyes. From The Rebel to The First Man and The Fall, here are the last ten years of Albert Camus’ turbulent life. During these ten years, this “faithful infidel”, who would be proved right about so many issues, achieved worldwide recognition while enduring the biggest crisis of his own existence.

Saved by love, but swept up by the absurd, the Camus we discover in this film is the private man, full of integrity and a disquieting humanity.

For a Canavaro, the legend cannot stop there, even if it means founding a rugby team for Tom against the will of the entire town and that of his own son.

All Our Desires is the story of an encounter between Claire, a young magistrate at the law court in Lyon, and Stéphane, an experienced, disillusioned magistrate whom she involves in her fight against insolvency.

In this warmhearted portrait of the French harbor city that gives the film its name, fate throws young African refugee Idrissa (Blondin Miguel) into the path of Marcel Marx (André Wilms), a former writer and well-spoken bohemian who works as a shoe shiner. With innate optimism and the unwavering support of his community, Marcel stands up to officials doggedly pursuing the boy for deportation.

A political fairy tale that exists somewhere between the reality of contemporary France and the classic cinema of Jean-Pierre Melville and Marcel Carné, Havre is a charming, deadpan delight.
