May Fools (Full Frame)
In this outlandishly funny tale, it's all greedy hands for themselves as scrounging, back stabbing relatives fight tooth and nail over prized family heirlooms. Renowned French filmmaker Louis Malle and writer Jean-Claude Carriere create a "lively and beautifully acted" (Newsweek) comedy that shows it doesn't always pay to inherit a fortune! Like vultures to an open smorgasbord, the eccentric members of the Vieutac clan descend upon the Grand Dame's beautiful southern estate after her death to claim what is rightfully theirs. Sneaky granddaughter Camille ("Miou-Miou") steals the treasured emerald ring, demanding niece Claire (Dominique Blanc), insists on the lion's share of the china and furniture, and the eager maid, Lily (Harriet Walter), cant wait to get in on the goods when no one's looking. Taming this unruly gang is left to the loyal and righteous son, Milou (Michel Piccoli), who has to become peacemaker, matchmaker - and worse - scorekeeper, to keep is fiery kin in line as they try everything and anything to get what they want...

Furniture and Interiors of the 1940s by Anne Bony, ISBN 2080111582
The 1940s marked a period of transition in interior design: the quarrel between ancient and modern was outdated, the combination of function and art was essential, and interior designers were more focused on new creations rather than on post-war reconstruction. The style of this period exhibits all the contradictions that arise from a society that was in a general state of shock, unsure of what the future would hold. Exemplary cabinet making marks the period, featuring famous names like T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbing and George Nelson from the United States. In France, Adnet, Arbus, Dominique, Kohlmann, Jallot, and Leleu produced sumptuous ensembles, with beautiful detailing. "Furniture and Interiors of the 1940s" features the work of numerous designers in 300 archival images and recent color photographs that shed new light on this transitional period in design, as it evolved both in Europe and in the United States.
