자유의 환상
Le commissaire
공산주의라는 유령이 부르주아를 두렵게 만든다고 말했던 칼 마르크스와는 달리 부뉴엘은 20세기 후반 부르주아를 가장 두려움에 떨게 만드는 게 자유라는 환영이라고 말한다. 1808년 프랑스군에 저항하다 학살된 스페인 혁명가들의 주검과 1970년 파리 부르주아들의 부조리한 삶을 연결시키면서 부뉴엘은 에 이어 부르주아 계급의 가치, 질서의 몰락을 또 한번 코믹하게 묘사한다. 10개 남짓한 에피소드로 이루어진 영화는 꼬리에 꼬리를 물고 이어지며 초현실적인 분위기를 자아낸다. (씨네코드 선재 - 시네프랑스)

The Suburbs Are Everywhere
Le directeur de l'usine
He is a sales rep. She is a secretary. They live in the suburbs but she works in Paris. They don't see much of each other and spend much of their time in commuter trains. They try desperately to change job locations to be more often together, but... The plot is not the important thing in the film ; what makes it emblematic of the early and mid-seventies is the insouciant atmosphere. The '74 oil crisis had not yet morphed into a recession, and life was good - even though it was as hard as ever to find a home near one's workplace (or the reverse) ! Marthe Keller and Jacques Higelin are both excellent. The movie is not an all-time great, but it captures the "zeitgeist" of French life in the Seventies.

악마 같은 당신들
Le décorateur
줄리앙 뒤비비에 감독은 마르셀 까르네, 장 르노와르, 줄리앙 뒤비비에, 자끄 페데르 등과 더불어 프랑스 시적 리얼리즘 영화 흐름의 대표적인 감독이었다. 사실적이면서 연극적이고 아방가르드 무성영화의 전통 속에 놓여 있던 그의 작품들은 초기 영화사에 있어 큰 반향을 불러일으켰다. 이후 2차 대전 시기 미국에서의 활동, 그리고 다시 프랑스로의 복귀 등을 거치며 그의 작품세계는 좀 더 확장된다. 그의 유작인 은 시종일관 팽팽하게 진행되는 사이코 스릴러 영화다. 아방가르드 성향의 몽환적인 분위기는 여전한 가운데, 중심인물들 사이를 오가는 밀도감과 세밀한 묘사는 뒤비비에 감독의 원숙한 솜씨를 엿볼 수 있게 한다. 스릴러 장르의 구도 아래에서 그가 후기 이후 큰 관심을 가져왔던 인간의 원초적인 악마성이 작품 전반을 지배하고 있다. 프랑스 식민지 인도차이나에서 얼마 전 돌아온 죠르쥬 캉포는 교통사고로 한동안 병원 신세를 진 뒤 그의 대저택으로 돌아온다. 그러나 사고 후유증으로 기억상실증에 걸린 그는 부인 크리스티안도, 주치의인 프레데릭 로네도, 인도차이나에서 데려온 하인 키엠도 알아보지 못한다. 이들 모두 그를 지극 정성으로 돌보지만 날이 갈수록 그의 정신 상태는 호전되기는 커녕 걷잡을 수 없이 악화된다. 그를 둘러싼 모든 것이 낯설기만 하고, 하루 하루가 감옥에서 보내는 것처럼 답답하기만 하다. 전화 사용은 금지되어 외부와의 접촉이 차단되어 있고, 부인 크리스티안은 지금은 병의 완쾌가 무엇보다 시급하다며 그와 잠자리를 하기를 거부한다. 게다가 그의 대저택을 지키는 개는 주인을 알아보지 못하고 사납게 으르렁 대기만 한다. 최근 그에게 일어난 몇몇 아찔한 사건에서 가까스로 화를 모면하긴 하였으나 모두 우연치고는 어딘지 수상하다. 밤이면 혼란스러움이 가중되어 그의 무의식 깊은 곳에서 누군가의 목소리가 들리는 것만 같다. 그리고 그의 머리 속 한 귀퉁이에서는 피에르 라그랑쥬라는 이름 그리고 근원을 알 수 없는 기억들이 떠올라 하염없이 맴돈다.

Rob the Bank
Le prêtre / The priest
Shopkeeper Victor Garnier has naively invested his family's life savings in an African mine, on his banker's recommendation.

Even for professionals such an enterprise -he decides to dig a tunnel- is quite demanding, but for simple commoners it's daunting, as they also have their personal downsides; thus Victor's wife has a most unwelcome tendency to blurt out the truth, even to the grumpy local copper: a crazy risk when you need to keep a criminal plan secret.
