French Classic Cinema

As France moves to centre stage in July with Paris hosting the Summer Olympics and Paralympics, Tom Brook and the team celebrate the country's classic cinema. France boasts one of the most successful film industries in Europe, and it earned international acclaim at the Oscars for its courtroom drama 'Anatomy of a Fall'. With contributions from cineastes and journalists, Tom Brook revisits five classic films: 'Amelie', 'Breathless', 'Mon Oncle', 'Cyrano de Bergerac', and 'Hiroshima, Mon Amour'.
