french film, the main character never speaks, narated in second person

The true story of Elle France editor Jean-Dominique Bauby, who, in 1995 at the age of 43, suffered a stroke that paralyzed his entire body, except his left eye. Using that eye to blink out his memoir, Bauby eloquently described the aspects of his interior world, from the psychological torment of being trapped inside his body to his imagined stories from lands he'd only visited in his mind.

A lone Frenchman, narrates his existential journey through a series of disconnected scenes.

"In this film you will see a woman's handkerchief tied around a man's wrist, a well-shaven pig's head, some adolescents who are more inventive than their elders in struggling against oppression... You will not, however, hear any dialog. Words do not prepare, do not accompany, do not comment upon the action. This is not a silent film, but a film in which the only moment of life retained for the cinematographic spectacle are those where people do not speak. The spectator will find, perhaps, a greater freedom of interpretation in it and, we hope, a particular pleasure in this." (Alain Cavalier)

A policeman and a serial killer play cat and mouse in an isolated mountain village in Nineteenth century France. The second film directed by the man who played the admirable lead role in Robert Bresson's A Man Escaped is a stylized and intense adaptation of a novel by Jean Giono. This police investigation in a 19th century village combines visual beauty with the rigor of the mise-en-scène—the vertigo of the criminal motivations indivisible from the refined graphics of the images.

In this most talky and personal of films, director Marguerite Duras and actor Gerard Depardieu do an on-camera read-through of a movie script. Occasionally, the director comments about the characters or their motivations, and sometimes the actor does. That's all -- there is no action, there are no location shots, no one pretends to be anything else. The script itself tells about an encounter between a blank-slate of a woman hitchhiker, and a communist truck driver. As the reading progresses, Duras comments bitterly about the failed ideals of communism and the glorious revolution that will probably never happen.

A silent French film depicting the story of the nativity.

French Drama/Comedy

A story about the riddle of femininity in French cinema.

A short film shot on July 2, 2011 that directly refers to the DSK case. In voice-over, with an echo in English, the inner monologue of a maid who wears makeup, hair, wounds, whose body has disappeared in suffering. A reflection on loneliness and confinement.

A young director wants to direct a medieval film in the Paris suburbs. During the casting she concentrates on one single person. The parking lot in front of the theatre, on which the young actors are waiting their turn, quickly becomes the decor of the new scene. While inside the alienation between the director and her assistant reaches its climax, the dance of the "superfluous" begins outside.
