Gabriel Lecouvreur, 'le Poulpe'
스퀴드(Gabriel Lecouvreur, "le Poulpe": 쟝-베르나드 포이 분)는 하얀 신발과 가죽점퍼와 여자친구 셰릴(Cheryl: 크로틸드 꾸로 분)을 좋아한다. 그의 여자친구 셰릴은 반짝이는 오렌지 색깔의 바지와 여기 문제가 온다. Here Comes Trouble?"라고 씌어진 티셔츠를 입고 있다. 또 이 영화에는 인종적 편견으로 가득 찬 우익정치인과 끔찍한 과거만있고 미래는 없는, 부패한 거친 사내들, 그리고 톡 쏘는 말을 재치 있게 던질 줄 아는 카페주인의 불꽃튀는 갈등도 있다. 영화는 사람들의 탐욕스러운 속성을 잘 표현해 준다. 작은 것을 뺏기지 않으려다 가장 소중한 생명까지 뺏기고 마는 사람들의 이야기를 특히 잘 표현해 준다. 받아야 할 2만 달러를 받기 위해 피비린내나는 복수를 계속하는 영화 처럼, 이 영화도 받아야 할 6천 프랑을 찾아나선 남자의 이야기다. 마치 슬랩스틱 코메디처럼 엎치락뒤치락하는 이야기지만 이 영화에는 웃음보다 훨씬 진한 페이소스가 있다. 주인공의 별명은 '르 쁠쁘', 즉 문어란 뜻이다. 웅장한 성당 2층에 흰 구두에 빨간 비닐 복면을 한 남자가 죽어있는 장면에서 영화는 시작된다. 쁠쁘는 6천 프랑을 주기로 하고 사라진 사람을 찾고 있다. 죽은 남자의 흰 구두를 벗겨 신고다니는 쁠쁘의 애인은 쉐릴, 분명히 레즈비언처럼 보이는 예쁜 얼굴에 당찬 성격을 가진 여자다. 두 사람은 돈을 줄 문제의 사람을 찾아 낯선 도시로 향한다. 험하게 생긴 사람들만 들끓는 낯선 도시의 낯선 선술집에서 쁠쁘는 정상이 아닌 것으로 보이는 남자를 만나 정보를 수집한다. 어렵게 찾아간 장소에서 쁠쁘는 또 의문의 변사체를 만날 뿐이다. 낯선 도시의 한심한 건달들에게 폭행을 당하면서도 쁠쁘는 돈을 줄 사람 찾기를 포기하지 않는다. 단서를 찾으려 사방을 헤메던 쁠쁘는 살해당한 채 기둥에 묶여있는 젊은이를 발견하면서 또 한 번 좌절한다. 좌충우돌이 계속되는 가운데 쁠쁘는 마침내 문제의 인물을 찾는데 성공하지만 그의 시련은
Voyageur de commerce
Muriel, a writer nearing 50 whose older lover won't live with her in Paris, meets a man on a train - Samuel, an Arab. He's attracted to her and pursues her, dropping in, asserting himself. She's willing to connect. He's passionate, then boorish, then jealous and possessive. He seems fixed on "Who's the strongest?," while she wants respect and trust. She's self-possessed as well as sexually charged, willing to laugh, and alternately firm and forgiving. He has little money, no immigration papers, few prospects, and a gambling jag. What does each want, and why does she stick with it? Is this colonial strife, war between the sexes, or a love story?
