L'Ange
Patrick Bokanowski
Rita Renoir, Maurice Baquet
The climbing of an immense staircase made up of the most varied stairs- Symbolic scenes occur on different levels where characters seem to be prisoners of their deeds and of their own folly. The steep staircase leads little by little towards the zones of great light where human beings and nonhuman beings meet.
The Angel
Sois belle et tais-toi!
Delphine Seyrig
Delphine Seyrig, Jill Clayburgh
The film is a series of interviews with various well-known film actresses, including Jenny Agutter, Maria Schneider, and Jane Fonda. The title, which is borrowed from a 1958 film with the same name by Marc Allegret, refers to the sense the actresses have of what is expected of them by the film industry.
Be Pretty and Shut Up!
Chappaqua
Conrad Rooks
Jean-Louis Barrault, Conrad Rooks
Semi-autobiographical story of Conrad Rooks, who travels to France to undergo a drug-withdrawal cure. Flashbacks to the beginings of psychedelia in San Fran. Though initially confusing, as Rooks blends drug-illusion with reality, and cuts color with black-and-white and monochrome tinted shots, "Chappaqua" is conventionally constructed with a beginning, middle, and end.
Chappaqua
Les Compagnes de la nuit
Ralph Habib
Françoise Arnoul, Raymond Pellegrin
Three events that seemingly nothing related, namely the murder of a truck driver, the discovery of the corpse of a vitriolic young woman, and the death of another who was crushed, will launch the Inspector Maréchal on the trail of a prostitution network. The girl-mother Olga, a friend of the trucker, confesses her the underwear of the women's exploitation.
Les Compagnes de la nuit
Le Désir attrapé par la queue
Jean-Jacques Lebel
Jacques Seiler, Rita Renoir
"Desire Caught by the Tail" - Described as surrealistic, absurd, and weird. The narrative is nonlinear and the meaning nearly impossible to decipher, the work has been praised despite, and sometimes for, its lack of message.
Le Désir attrapé par la queue
Il mondo di notte numero 3
Gianni Proia
George Sanders, Rita Renoir
A documentary highlighting some of the oddest, strangest and more grotesque examples of human behavior. Included are a tour of the Grand Guignol theater in Paris, a man who sticks long needles through his body, reindeer being castrated, and footage of lesbians and strippers.
Ecco
Le futur aux trousses
Dolorès Grassian
Bernard Fresson, Claude Rich
A large company offers consumers to acquire a "second identity", having the character traits that individuals would not normally adopt. Because of all these uninhibited behaviors, anarchy is quick to take hold.
