Mme Juge Michaux
Police detective Jacques Laniel's life becomes a nightmare the day drive-by shootists gun down his partner Thomas Colin. His colleagues make matters worse by blaming him for the death, and after his wife leaves him, Laniel decides to quit the force and launch a private investigation into Colin's murder. Soon afterward, Laniel finds the bullet-riddled body of famed author and literature professor Zachary Osborne tied to his car hood. The professor's wife hires Laniel to solve the murder, but what the detective finds is ugly: Osborne was a part of a lucrative land-speculation deal that involved the sale of a crumbling old rectory that had been turned into a halfway house called the Haven of the Monsters. The name is apt, for all the residents are convicted killers who were given inordinately light sentences. When Lanier starts questioning the Haven's tenants and their crimes are revealed via flashback, it takes on the character of a David Lynch production.
Casting
Una aventura colosal que retrocede hasta el comienzo mismo de la existencia del hombre. Hace 80.000 años, cuando el hombre deambulaba por la tierra, se vio expuesto a los elementos hostiles de la naturaleza. Contra una atmósfera peligrosa, terrenos accidentados, tribus rivales y las bestias salvajes, "En busca del fuego" gira en torno a una pacífica tribu y su búsqueda por el elemento fuego y el conocimiento para crearlo. Centrado en el sueño humano, las realistas percepciones del hombre prehistórico y la lucha constante por la supervivencia están vivamente recreadas en esta sensacional producción.
