Jérusalem : la voie douloureuse / 1897

Le point douloureux / 1979

Revolutions, at Last, Forever and Ever / 1982

Like a photo album long forgotten in an abandoned house, words and images gently recall, as if by osmosis, the outbursts of hope and distress of three women facing a disintegrating world. Also remember the silence of the one who said "Listen", then who was silent, never said anything again.

Homophobia, That Painful Problem / 2000

Using interviews, personal testimonies, clips from films and television, re-enactments of gay bashings, lists of epithets used internationally, and other powerful graphics image, this French documentary explores the similarities and differences of anti-gay hate worldwide. Algeria, China, Cuba, England, France, Guinea, India, Iran, Jamaica, Romania, and the United States are among the countries investigated where lesbians and gay men regularly report physical and/or verbal violence endorsed by politicians, religious leaders, and the citizenry: Salim is sent back from France to Algeria for ‘’re-education’’; Cornelia flees Mugabe’s homophobic regime in Zimbabwe; and Phillipe is forced to resign as deputy mayor in the French provinces.

Dolorosa indifferenza / 19877.03 voti

The action in this lavishly produced film takes place at an oddly ark-shaped mansion during World War I, and in spirit (although not in story) it reflects the play which inspired it, the ferociously antiwar Heartbreak House by George Bernard Shaw. A large group of family and friends have gathered at this country house to dance, drink, and converse. Their conversation, in particular, is adorned with erudite literary references and quotations. Despite their apparent refinement, their preoccupations are simple: sex and violence. Disquieting images break the tranquility of the vacationers' inappropriate idyll: some of these include documentary footage of starving African children, images (both real and re-enacted) of George Bernard Shaw going about his daily life, and a corpse coming to life on an autopsy table, only to cheapen that miracle by scolding a group of women. The music used in the film ironically points to its disturbing message and is uniformly anachronistic.
