Self-taught magician, transformist at the Grande Eugène cabaret, man of theater, television and cinema, Jean-Claude D. Dreyfus has been dragging his inimitable drawl wherever he wants. Able to play the Diva for Michel Audiard as well as for Werner Herzog. Loubard one day for Gilles Béhat and Duke of Orleans the next day for Rohmer. We often met him with Mocky or Boisset, more mysteriously with Tommy Chong and remains permanently anchored in our memories thanks to his performance in Delicatessen or Marie's ads, depending on the genre. Jean-Claude D. Dreyfus is one of those marginal people, adventurers a bit crazy, often poet and above all a bon vivant, in short, a species on the way to extinction. The directors wanted to meet the character and remember this extravagant little life.

Italian-French-British TV film targeting the US audience, about the fashion icon Coco Chanel. The film begins with the fashion goddess (deftly played by Shirley MacLaine) in her twilight years, steeped in wealth and fame, still issuing game-changing designs and collections. From here the biopic looks backwards to the woman's upbringing in an orphanage, and traces her path to ubiquity as it winds through poverty, wars, doomed romances, and rather glamorous betrayals.

Opera 'Ernani' - Sarah Bernhardt
아마존강 유역의 작은 도시에 사는 피츠카랄도는 대단한 오페라광인데 그는 아마존의 정글 속에 훌륭한 오페라하우스를 지어 카루소와 베른하르트가 출연하는 베르디의 오페라를 공연하는것이 소원이다. 그래서 자금을 마련하기위해 고무를 찾아서 배를 타고 밀림 속으로 모험을 떠난다. 이처럼 간단한 줄거리는 고도의 상징과 진행의 정확성, 잔꾀를 멀리하고 몸으로 부닥치는 제작 태도, 몽환적이며 동시에 진실한 성격 등이 어울려힘과 기백이 살아숨쉬는 작품으로 완성되고 있다. 밀림 속에서 만나게 되는 원주민들과 피츠카랄도의 관계는 대중과 선구적인예술가의 관계를 상징하는데 피츠카랄도의 무모한 행적이 원주민신앙의 신탁에 의한 것으로 설정되어 숭고한 인간의 의지로 승화되는 것은 이 작품의 자연주의적인 진행방법과 접목되어 완성도를 한층 높여주고 있다. 헤어조크가 자주 등장시키는 유명한 배우 클라우스 킨스키는 브루노와 함께 헤어조크의 작품세계에 가장 잘 어울린다. 킨스키가 보여주는 피츠카랄도의 이미지는 헤어조크 자신을 반영하는 듯한 감도 있다. 이 작품을 제작, 연출하면서 보여준 헤어조크의 열정과 의지 또한 피츠카랄도의 그것과 똑같은 것이었다.

Blinded by adoration, Mary decides to leave her parents and her clerk job to live with the man she considers as the love of her life. But Gerard is a pimp, who soon forces her into prostitution.

Bini
The first episode – featuring frequent Borowczyk muse Marina Pierro – is the longest and, in a way, most substantial: it’s set in Renaissance Rome, with the lusty (and perpetually nude) leading lady sexually involved with famous painters and church benefactors. The second episode is the most notorious and, consequently, gave the film its controversial poster – featuring a rabbit slowly disappearing under the skirt of a teenage girl (played by Gaelle Legrand). The third and final episode, which has a modern-day setting, is the shortest – but also, possibly, the most outrageous: Pascale Christophe is a young married woman who’s abducted on a busy Parisian street by a small-time hood hidden inside a cardboard box!
Le prêcheur

Her parents, a bitter Fascist who is a cabaret singer in drag and her wheelchair-bound mother, offer no refuge. Even though all have a philosophical bent, the other whores reject Lily because she tolerates everyone, including men. She tires of her lonely life and looks for a way out. Even that act serves the local corrupt powers.
