Mircea Eliade was a traditionalist Romanian novelist and philosopher. Following the disaster of the Second World War, he moved to Paris and Chicago, becoming a respected and influential historian of religions. He acquired something of the status of a guru, as poignantly told in the 1987 documentary Mircea Eliade et la redécouverte du sacré. The film features interviews with Eliade at the end of his life, artfully spliced with cuts to religious imagery on a background of moving spiritual music. It was released in 1987, the year after his death.Read More »
Synopsis
They do say that Paris is the city of love and that’s certainly true for American TV reporter Bryan Deal: he’s barely out of the airport when he’s picked up by a pair of beautiful bisexual air-hostesses and whisked back for a spot of le nookie. But can his conservative Anglo-Saxon upbringing allow him to embrace these new freedoms?
More ambitious than most seventies soft-core, The French Love captures the mood of fashionable French youth of the time, with sexual liberation linked to political transformation.Read More »
