Acting
The fortunes of a small theatrical company based in the Paris suburbs.
A thriller in which the characters are Latin-American exiles living in Paris. It is also a comedy about artists who play at revolution rather than actually participate in one
Three episodes from the history of socialism: Babeuf, whose virulent discourse is a radical assessment of the bourgeois revolution of 1789 (Vincent Nordon episode); the legend of Napoleon I, or the formation of the state as it still dominates today (François Barat episode); and the carnage of the Paris Commune, which official history strives to repress and forget (Joël Farges episode). What does it mean to make a historical film today? It means illuminating the present in the light of the past, and therefore adopting the new modes of modern storytelling to challenge what dominates us, structures us, and oppresses us.
François and Joelle are lovers, and take great pleasure in their sexual embraces. But François is a cameraman that puts his work at a higher priority. One night, when they are interrupted by a phone call from his work, and leaves in a hurry with his camera and three shirts, Joelle can't wait all those shirts to be dirty before she is sexually satiated. Therefore, she goes out searching, and finding, a number of liaisons with men and women alike. On one of her outings, she happens to see François having an affair with a man. It seems that she doesn't reject the idea of joining with him again - in a menage-a-trois.
