Duc de Navarreins

Dinner Guest
Уличенный в скупке краденого Венсан Маливер, хозяин ювелирной фирмы на Вандомской площади Парижа, совершает самоубийство. Марианна, его вдова, серьезно подавлена произошедшим, и только неожиданная находка — семь восхитительных алмазов, припрятанных ее супругом — дает ей шанс вновь обрести вкус к жизни...
Le jeune officier
"In this film you will see a woman's handkerchief tied around a man's wrist, a well-shaven pig's head, some adolescents who are more inventive than their elders in struggling against oppression... You will not, however, hear any dialog. Words do not prepare, do not accompany, do not comment upon the action. This is not a silent film, but a film in which the only moment of life retained for the cinematographic spectacle are those where people do not speak. The spectator will find, perhaps, a greater freedom of interpretation in it and, we hope, a particular pleasure in this." (Alain Cavalier)
