Iranian Iradj Azimi directed this French historical drama re-creating events depicted in the famous 1819 painting The Raft of the Medusa by Jean Louis Andre Theodore Gericault (1791-1824). The ill-fated voyage of the frigate Medusa begins when it departs Rochefort for Senegal in 1816. After striking a sandbar off the African coast, 150 civilians row safely to shore, but Captain Chaumareys (Jean Yanne) orders 140 soldiers and sailors onto a raft (minus supplies) and has it cut loose. Only 14 survive from the 140, creating a scandal back in France. Gericault (Laurent Terzieff) later talks to three of the survivors while researching his painting. Work on this film began in 1987, but sets destroyed by Hurricane Hugo caused delays, so the film was not completed until 1990. However, it then remained undistributed until an incident in which writer-director Azimi slashed his wrists in front of French Ministry of Culture officials.

Hugo Claus rewrote and directed Friday as the cinematic version of his original 1969 play of the same name. Just as in the play, the story begins with the theme of incest, as the father Georges (Frank Aendenboom) returns from serving his jail sentence for that crime. Unlike the earlier play, however, the film does not emphasize that aspect of the story. When Georges gets home he finds out that his wife Jeanne (Kitty Courbois) has had an illegitimate child by a younger man, Erik (Herbert Flack), and now both of them must somehow try to return to a normal life, given their only too obvious lapses in moral judgment. As the husband and wife try hard to accommodate each other's failings and start to get to know each other again, Erik comes back into the picture. Now the three of them must resolve the deep-seated conflicts that brought them to this emotionally-wrought juncture of love and betrayal.

"Похищение в Париже" - политический детектив со всеми свойственными жанру неожиданностями сюжетного развития. Это попытка средствами игрового кино рассказать о реальном факте - похищении и убийстве видного арабского лидера Бен Барка (в фильме - Садиэль). Домысливая обстоятельства этого темного дела, Буассе построил сложный захватывающий сюжет, оборвав его там, где фактически и остановилось официальное расследование. В фильме были выразительно показаны обстановка и движущие пружины политической борьбы, резко очерчены характеры действующих лиц. Мужественному и непреклонному Садиэлю (Джан-Мария Волонте) противопоставлен журналист Дарьей (Жан-Луи Трентиньян), который по бесхарактерности и беспринципности становится орудием в руках агентов тайной полиции и фактически соглашается играть роль «подсадной утки». Поняв, что путь уступок и компромиссов привел его к предательству, Дарьен пытается спасти Садиэля…
