Two films attempt to seduce a younger audience and with less romance involved: first the production stamped EuropaCorp, Revolver from Englishman Guy Ritchie, distributed by Belga Film. And, distributed by Alternative Films, the film by Gérard Pirès which leaves behind the cars of Taxi to attack another vehicle – the plane Chevaliers du Ciel (Knights of the sky) produced by Mandarin Film who have had several big box-office successes in France (Jet Set 1 and 2 and recently Brice de Nice for example).

Three other films arrive from the enlarged Europe : Maskeli Beslervenu by Turk Murat Aslan, The Colour of Milk (Ikke naken) from Norwegian Torun Lian aimed at kids and from the opposite Belgian frontier, Het Schnitzelparadijs [+see also:
