История

Jean Dorothy Seberg (November 13, 1938 – August 30, 1979) was an American actress who lived half her life in France. She appeared in 34 films in Hollywood and in Europe, including Saint Joan, Bonjour Tristesse, Breathless, Lilith, The Mouse That Roared, Moment to Moment, A Fine Madness, Paint Your Wagon, Airport, Macho Callahan, and Gang War in Naples. She was also one of the best-known targets of the FBI COINTELPRO project. Her targeting was a well-documented retaliation for her support of the Black Panther Party in the 1960s. Seberg died at the age of 40 in Paris, with police ruling her death a probable suicide. Romain Gary, Seberg's second husband, called a press conference shortly after her death where he publicly blamed the FBI's campaign against Seberg for her deteriorating mental health. Gary claimed that Seberg "became psychotic" after the media reported a false story that the FBI planted about her becoming pregnant with a Black Panther's child in 1970. Romain Gary stated that Seberg had repeatedly attempted suicide on the anniversary of the child's death, August 25.

From the Journals of Jean Seberg
Self
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.

Похищение в Париже
Edith Lemoine
"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…
