Looking for Hortense
Self (uncredited)
Damien (Jean-Pierre Bacri, 'Como en las mejores familias'), es profesor de historia de la civilización china, y vive con su mujer, Iva (Kristin Scott Thomas, 'El paciente inglés'), directora de teatro, y el hijo de ambos, Noé (Martin Orcand Tourres). La historia de amor que los mantenía unidos se ha ido desvaneciendo por culpa de la rutina y del trabajo, del cansancio diario. Para evitar que el matrimonio se derrumbe, Damien se verá mezclado en una trampa orquestada por su mujer, que le pedirá que ayude a su padre, consejero del Estado y con el cuál mantiene una relación distante. Esta arriesgada misión sumergirá a Damien en una espiral que revolverá de arriba a abajo su vida.
Rendez-vous chez Lacan
Self
Do you know Lacan, which many consider as the greatest psychoanalyst since Freud? Beyond the myth, the legends and sometimes, the curses, this film by Gérard Miller allows us to discover his work and his personality, through the testimony of his patients, his students, and also his relatives. Born with the XXth century into an upper-middle-class Catholic family, a psychiatrist by training, with an encyclopaedic knowledge of culture, a friend of Picasso, Levi-Strauss and Sartre, Lacan was a great theoretician, an outstanding practitioner, and he remains the most modern, the most challenging and even the most sulphurous of psychoanalysts. The director Gerard Miller met Lacan thanks to his brother, Jacques-Alain, the most faithful of his students, who married his daughter Judith. Their close and intense relationship makes this film exceptional.

Cast member
Based on documents compiled by leading French philosopher Michel Foucault, this unique and original film charts the gruesome events which took place in a Normandy village in 1835, when a young man, Pierre Rivière, murdered his mother, sister and brother before fleeing to the countryside. With a cast made up of real-life villagers from the area where the events took place, the detailed re-enactments and careful attention to the gestures of their ancestors serve to create an intense and sometimes disturbing atmosphere of hyper-realism. Details of the crime and of the trial that followed are told from varied perspectives, including the written confession of Pierre himself, and form a rich and complex narrative that interrogates the concepts of “truth” and “history”.
