Frédéric Rossif y Philippe Meyer dibujan el terrible fresco de la Segunda Guerra Mundial del ascenso de Hitler y el partido nazi hasta su derrota definitiva (1933-1945). Mientras describen cuidadosamente la secuencia de eventos, se remontan a la génesis del fascismo, y la imagen que dibujan de esta primera mitad del siglo XX es a la vez lúcida y aterradora. Una página de historia ilustrada por una gran cantidad de documentos inéditos.

In this documentary, director Frédéric Rossif has mixed footage of the popular, late singer Jacques Brel in concert and stage performances, with his own interpretive shots and news clips to present a synopsis of Brel's career -- from its beginnings in the early 1960s to his death from cancer in 1978. Biographical and personal data have been excluded, which may disappoint some viewers who want to know more about the man himself.

French director Frederic Rossif presents this historical documentary that coincided with the 50th anniversary of the Russian Revolution. Stock footage from both World Wars are included with 30 minutes of new scenes filmed especially for the project. The historical timeline is traced from the time Czar Nicholas II is crowned. The emergence of Lenin, his death in 1924, and the later contributions of Trotsky and Stalin give the viewer a sense of death, betrayal, and ideological devotion to the communist agenda. Rossif effectively uses scenes from the landmark 1929 film The Man With A Movie Camera by celebrated director Dziga Vertov. Rossif researched the film archives from several countries in his meticulous gathering of materials for this timely historical feature.

Durante un paseo, Luis XIII descubre un lugar encantador y decide construir en él una casa de campo que se convertirá en el Palacio de Versalles. Éste será el escenario en el que se sucederán, desde el reinado de Luis XIV (1661-1715) hasta la Revolución de 1789, una serie de intrigas amorosas y políticas protagonizadas por importantes personajes de la corte francesa.

Cocteau takes the viewer on a tour of a friend's villa on the French coast (a major location used in Testament of Orpheus). The house itself is heavily decorated, mostly by Cocteau (and a bit by Picasso), and we are given an extensive tour of the artwork. Cocteau also shows us several dozen paintings as well. Most cover mythological themes, of course. He also proudly shows paintings by Edouard Dermithe and Jean Marais and plays around his own home in Villefranche.

"Las prisas de Matisse", ocho minutos de recortes frente a la cámara de Frédéric Rossif constituyen el episodio más completo y presentable de la serie de películas sobre artistas que Langlois estaba interesado en producir. Documento filmado entre la villa Le Rêve en Vence y en el Hôtel Régina de Niza, donde el pintor sistematiza el proceso de corte entre pintura y escultura. Entre 1947 y 1954, Matisse realizó más de 200 gouaches recortados.
