Nakaura of Julian (Julião Nakaura), a priest of the Society of Jesus, was one of four young ambassadors sent to Rome by the Jesuits in 1538, as proof that Japan had converted to Christianity. Fifty years after the mission, which so fascinated European royalty, Julian was forced again to prove his faith, only this time before a Shogun, who wanted to force him to abandon his religion. Julian resists, as does Miguel Chijiwa, a fellow at the embassy to Rome, who become a martyr. Betrayed by Cristóvão Ferreira, who cannot bear the torture, Julian suffers an inglorious death ... or maybe not.

Claude Lanzmann dirigiu este documentário de 9 horas e meia do Holocausto sem usar um único quadro de imagens de arquivo. Ele entrevista sobreviventes, testemunhas e ex-nazistas (a quem ele tinha que filmar secretamente, uma vez que eles só concordaram em ser entrevistados pelo áudio). Seu estilo de entrevista, pedindo os detalhes mais minuciosos é eficaz em somar esses detalhes para dar um retrato horripilante dos eventos do genocídio nazista. Ele também mostra, ou melhor, deixa mostrar alguns de seus assuntos, que o anti-semitismo que causou a morte de 6 milhões de judeus no Holocausto ainda está vivo em muitas pessoas que ainda vivem na Alemanha, Polônia e outros lugares. (e 12 - Estimado 12 Anos)

In this most talky and personal of films, director Marguerite Duras and actor Gerard Depardieu do an on-camera read-through of a movie script. Occasionally, the director comments about the characters or their motivations, and sometimes the actor does. That's all -- there is no action, there are no location shots, no one pretends to be anything else. The script itself tells about an encounter between a blank-slate of a woman hitchhiker, and a communist truck driver. As the reading progresses, Duras comments bitterly about the failed ideals of communism and the glorious revolution that will probably never happen.

The full soundtrack to Marguerite Duras' 1975 film India Song, about a French ambassador's wife in 1930s India, is here repurposed with all new cinematography. As we hear all the dialogue of a bygone movie, we travel visually through images of absence and decay, bereft of life. It's the ghost of a film, and a further commentary on colonialism.
