Film vs Film
Select two cult films to compare side by side.
The Swallow and the Titmouse Synopsis
A bargeman, his wife and sister-in-law navigate the canals of northern Belgium in their two vessels, the eponymous "L'Hirondelle et la Mésange," taking the time to appreciate the sites and landscapes they encounter along their way. Like many in his trade, the mariner supplements his income by transporting occasional contraband. The tranquil rhythms of their nautical lives are interrupted, however, when they hire an ambitious new pilot.
Le coupable Synopsis
A prosecuting attorney commences his summing-up : the defendant is his son whose pitiful fate led him to murder ; he left his mother he got pregnant and the unwed poor thing had to fight against a hostile world .
"The Swallow and the Titmouse" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Le coupable" offers its own unique cult appeal.
