If - The Crusaders of 1968

The Period Film and National Sentiment

Director Christophe Barratier´s proud sentimentality proved popular with audiences in his first film Les Choristes. The big nostalgia hit of the French Box Office has already been emulated in Paris 36 (Fabourg 36). This retro musical has all the period trappings of 1936 France, taking in accordion music whilst celebrating the left-wing Popular Front alliance which was a counter point to other political movements in Europe at this time.

The 65th Venice Film Festival

It may be about to showcase the best in World Cinema for the 65th time but the Venice Film Festival is showing no signs of retiring or slowing down. For what is the oldest film festival in the world, it has a program this year to ensure that it justifies its claim as being the one that truly matters for the afficiando and critic alike.
