Acting
A talk show presented by Michel Drucker
We follow 24 hours in the life of a being moving from life to life like a cold and solitary assassin moving from hit to hit. In each of these interwoven lives, the being possesses an entirely distinct identity: sometimes a man, sometimes a woman, sometimes youthful, sometimes old. By turns murderer, beggar, company chairman, monstrous creature, worker, family man.
The robberies are becoming more and more brazen, the methods more and more brutal. Because the perpetrator wears bizarre masks, there is no analyzable personal description. The homicide squad is assigned a bloody novice. The gangster slyly exploits this weakness. He sets his stunning girlfriend on him and blackmails him into complicity. An oil sheik's luxury yacht docks in the harbor. From all over the world, the head gamblers are expected with pockets full of money for a hot night of gambling. The planning for the super coup is ready. The best specialists are hired.
"Cocktail Molotov" is the story of the adventures of this threesome, who reach Venice only to learn of the outbreak of the May 1968 disturbances at home. Once again, Anne, Frederic and Bruno realize that the important things of their time are happening somewhere where they are not. Swindled out of their car and virtually broke, they hitchhike back to Paris, hoping to arrive in time for some of the excitement.
After a businessman is captured by kidnappers, his rescue seems incumbent on a group of filmmakers, rather than a lackluster police force -- a premise that is matched by the rest of this movie. The kidnapping victim rambles on philosophically with his captors, who end up leaving him alone -- thereby providing him with a chance to escape. As he makes a break for it, he is literally hounded by some guard dogs. Then there are also some interviews with people who know one of the kidnappers, though it is not clear why. Neither the victim, nor the kidnappers, nor the filmmakers can compete with the canines, the only protagonists who add some bite to the action.
Noémie and Priscilla, two teenagers from a modest background, nurture the same violence, the same revolt. They seriously worry their families, who feel that these girls are capable of anything...
An average guy who works in a recycling plant wakes up one morning to discover that he's become inexplicably famous.
The sudden death of a teenager during a soccer match puts a small community completely off-balance.
Simon Nardis was once an internationally renowned jazz pianist but for the past ten years he has led a more orderly life as a husband and father. But all that changes when he walks into a jazz club by chance one evening. He comes face-to-face with the demons he thought he had tamed: music, alcohol and doubts about himself. He wonders if he really is happy...
Story of three "flights": a little boy, a girl, and a mother who escapes the real world and recreates the world through dreams and photographs.
