Claude Berri
Yves Montand, Gérard Depardieu
In a rural French village, an old man and his only remaining relative cast their covetous eyes on an adjoining vacant property. They need its spring water for growing their flowers, and are dismayed to hear that the man who has inherited it is moving in. They block up the spring and watch as their new neighbour tries to keep his crops watered from wells far afield through the hot summer. Though they see his desperate efforts are breaking his health and his wife and daughter's hearts, they think only of getting the water.

François Truffaut: Portraits volés
Michel Pascal, Serge Toubaina
François Truffaut, Jean-Pierre Léaud
Twenty-six people - including two daughters, an ex-wife, his last lover, actors, fellow directors and writers, a neighbor, and boyhood friends - talk about François Truffaut. They discuss his attitudes toward wealth, his early writings about cinema, the undercurrent of violence in his films and his personality, the way he used and altered events in his life when making films, his search for a father (both artistic and biological), his relationship with his mother, the scenes in his films that cause a squirm of embarrassment, and his ultimate mysticism. Clips from a dozen of his films are included.

1900
Bernardo Bertolucci
Роберт Де Ниро, Gérard Depardieu
Прекрасным летним утром 1900 года в итальянской провинции Эмилия появляются на свет два мальчика. Олмо — еще один рот в многодетной семье бедного крестьянина. Альфредо — отпрыск богатых помещиков. Несмотря на столь различное социальное положение, мальчики не только подружатся, но пронесут дружбу через всю свою жизнь. Они — дети страшных лет Европы, чье отрочество придется на годы Первой мировой войны, а зрелость вступит в свои права под грохот гитлеровских орудий. Да и в промежутке событий будет предостаточно. Фашистская Италия — страна неспокойная. Меняется вековой уклад общества, народ все больше узнает от социалистов о своих правах, Муссолини использует смуту для захвата власти. Ветер перемен врывается и в провинцию Эмилия. Обостряются отношения крестьян и землевладельцев, но Олмо и Альфредо остаются друзьями. Сплетение судеб — близких и бесконечно далеких, сплетение жизни личности и жизни страны.

Danton
Andrzej Wajda

Danton and Robespierre were close friends and fought together in the French Revolution, but by 1793 Robespierre was France's ruler, determined to wipe out opposition with a series of mass executions that became known as the Reign of Terror. Danton, well known as a spokesman of the people, had been living in relative solitude in the French countryside, but he returned to Paris to challenge Robespierre's violent rule and call for the people to demand their rights. Robespierre, however, could not accept such a challenge, even from a friend and colleague, and he blocked out a plan for the capture and execution of Danton and his allies.
