This magnificently photographed French film tells the ancient legend of Tristan and Isolde to the accompaniment of an operatic musical score by MAGMA. Tristan is a young warrior who has been sent to Ireland from Cornwall to bring back Isolde, the bride of his king. The two of them drink a love potion, fall in love, and, despite the wrath of their people, persist in their tragic love.

A fake documentary on the life forms of the Paris Suburbs, viewed through the eyes of homeless, unemployed people the sharks of politics and building societies push to hopeless life.

A year and a half after "Le Lit e la vierge", Zouzou and Pierre Clémenti are in another bed, this time in front of a window, with Sacré-Coeur in the background. Filmed in two days, in July 1970, with a stolen film from the ORTF, this film, a tribute to these two vedettes of the French underground, is of immense beauty. The title is inspired by the silhouette of Pierre Clémenti, evocative, for Lagrange, of the male physicist during the Renaissance. Grandson of Léo Lagrange and nephew of the chief operator Ghislain Cloquet, Yvan Lagrange is two years younger than Philippe Garrel. "Renaissance", his first film, shows to what extent his generation was influenced by Garrel.

Una mujer joven, Jeanne, espera en un pintoresco café de Paris llamado "Au pan coupé" a su novio, un muchacho de veinte años, Jean, que de repente entra y va hacia ella. Sin saberlo aún, los dos amantes están al final de su amor, porque ese amor, a pesar de su juventud y su pasión, ha llegado a al límite. Sobre todo a causa del pasado, del carácter del muchacho, de su perpetua rebeldía que, a pesar de todos sus esfuerzos, Jeanne no ha logrado apaciguar... Los recuerdos de Jeanne son filmados en color y el presente en blanco y negro. Guy Gilles, el director, eligió esta opción para marcar con más fuerza la muerte presente del amor de Jeanne por Jean.
