Краткое содержание
Исторический фильм о "деле Дрейфуса". Этот фильм, снятый для английского телевидения Кеном Расселом, является довольно необычным для режиссёра, всю жизнь экспериментирующего с изображением. Здесь тоже поставлен своего рода эксперимент - Рассел снимает довольно точный исторический костюмный фильм с элементами фарса и гротеска о деле, которое само было полно фарса и гротеска. Главную роль полковника Пикара - "первого человека XX века", французского патриота и антисемита, вставшего на защиту чести французской армии и еврея Дрейфуса, играет Ричард Дрейфус, являющийся одновременно и продюсером этого фильма (что, несомненно, не является случайностью).

Положение становится еще более критическим, когда в голове Кэт зреет план убийства не только своего брата, но и отца.
Приемные родители изо всех сил стараются помочь и понять девочку, пытаются уберечь Эрика, но для этого, прежде всего, надо узнать тайну, которая явилась причиной такого поведения…

Even the most loyal admirer of Tom Jobim, the most documented Brazilian artist throughout the world, cannot imagine the surprises he will encounter in this film. It contains previously unreleased pictures and images captured for 15 years by Ana Jobim, his wife, that show details of the life and work of Tom Jobim. Shot in New York, Rio de Janeiro and the family ranch in Poço Fundo, the film shows his intimacy with his children, the birth of important songs, parties at home with other musicians, and even a unusual Jobim in pajamas, in an “expedition” in the woods. “When someone visits the intimacy of a great artists, possibly the distance between him and the myth is felt to be smaller. For me it is the opposite; the distance becomes greater and I have more conscience of the myth”, says Ana.

Mark Rappaport's creative bio-pic about actress Jean Seberg is presented in a first-person, autobiographical format. He seamlessly interweaves cinema, politics, American society and culture, and film theory to inform, entertain, and move the viewer. Seberg's many marriages, as well as her film roles, are discussed extensively. Her involvement with the Black Panther Movement and subsequent investigation by the FBI is covered. Notably, details of French New Wave cinema, Russian Expressionist (silent) films, and the careers of Jane Fonda, Vanessa Redgrave, and Clint Eastwood are also intensively examined. Much of the film is based on conjecture, but Rappaport encourages viewers to re-examine their ideas about women in film with this thought-provoking picture.
