I don’t know about you, but when I discuss politics or economics—or any other topic of interest, for that matter—I try to be as upfront and honest as I can. This doesn’t seem to be the case with the environmental scaremongers who seem to feel that the sheeple either can’t or won’t believe the scaremongers’ [...]
Jean Renoir's 1939 masterpiece follows the amorous exploits of a group of aristocrats invited to a hunting party at a French château. Their hectic intrigues find an uncanny echo in the affairs of their servants, upstairs and downstairs comically crossing paths on the way to a tragic conclusion...

Although its location inside the Forum des Halles is not the most desirable, Forum des Images is the gem of this underground maze. Nowhere else will you find such an enormously varied film agenda including 1920s silent film, contemporary art house cinema and everything in between.

Other directors I will be looking into this year are Ingmar Bergman, Tarkovsky, Jean Renoir, Sam Fuller, Eisenstein,...
There is a commonly held assumption that the Nouvelle Vague (New Wave) movement was a left-wing, politically-charged attempt to destroy the film-making establishment and re-write the rules of Cinema for a new generation – a sort of cinematic punk rock, if you like. It is easy to deduce, from the protagonists’ involvement in the [...]

"I'm playing the part of a little old lady," says Agnés Varda, walking backwards against the sunset on one of the many beaches to feature in her latest, autobiographical film, Les Plages D'Agnés. I wonder what part she is playing for me today as she bumbles about the offices of her U.K. distributers, Artificial Eye, poking into different rooms, smiling amiably. "I'm not...
