The youth in 'Madame'
Seven brief scenes, each with a couple, explore the surprises and the changes of heart that can occur during sexual encounters. Only one of the seven couples has been in bed together before; several are strangers or new acquaintances. A prostitute and her john, an older woman and a youth who follows her home, two women friends, a gay man with a straight man, a man with distinctive ideas about soap and water, a woman who wants the light left on, and a Spanish-speaking woman with a French-speaking man make for an array of possibilities and unanticipated consequences. The 7 bed scenes are titled: The Black Hole [Le trou noir]; Mr. Clean [Monsieur Propre]; Madame; Heads or Tails [Tête bêche]; The Ideal Man [L'homme idéal]; Love in the Dark [L'amour dans le noir]; and The Virgins [Les puceaux].
Le Penseur
In the 19th century, children -- particularly the children of the poor -- were considered to be an exploitable resource of docile and cheap labor. Anyone who had the effrontery to steal so much as a portion of a loaf of bread for any reason would (at the very least) go to prison, regardless of their age. However, people of conscience were beginning to protest against this situation. The story takes place in a prison for children where conditions are particularly harsh. The warden is a thick-headed martinet who demands complete compliance with the rules, or the children will be brutally dealt with. The assistant warden is a more modern man, and is appalled by the whole institution, but seeks to begin by reforming it. To that end, he has invited a journalist to come and see the conditions that prevail there, in the hopes that she will rouse public opinion against at least this one form of injustice.
Joseph
Главный герой фильма, некогда бывший полковником в Аргентине, ныне богатый эмигрант, живущий в Париже с любимой, но бесплодной женой. Чтобы как-то компенсировать это, он кормит и одевает беспризорных детей, воспитывая их в своём особняке как своих собственных. Но однажды в приют полковника приводят весьма привлекательную девушку, которая становится предметом всеобщих романтических воздыханий.
Фильм не просто про любовную историю двух молодых людей — Люка и Бланш (молодой женщиной, которая неспособна порвать со своим порочным окружением), они проводят дни и ночи в порыве страсти. Эту притчу о вечном соперничестве мужского и женского начал, об обреченной любви, предопределенной судьбе можно воспринимать и как «поток сознания» в больном мозгу главного героя, который теряет память и должен умереть от чего-то неведомого и неизлечимого.
