Our Classic selection includes Children of Paradise cited at Cannes as the greatest French film of all time, and a hark back to our origins with Madame Bovary starring Isabelle Huppert which we screened at our first festival in 1992, the same year it was nominated for the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film. 

This sensorial classics selection mixes music and drama, fashion and swashbuckling, theatre and, of course, romance…
