Kiberlain, Johnny Hallyday, Jean-François Stévenin, Aurore
Clément,

Synopsis:
The movie presents a map of its
main character's mind rather than a story. Realistic scenes mix with
dream sequences and hallucinations. The realistic episodes feature
Gabrielle, a young woman living in a trailer on a beach in northern
France. She works in a bar, drinks a little too much and is a big
fan of aging rock-blues singer Lennox. A more dreamlike storyline
shows the same woman wandering disorientatedly through an American
city and meeting Lennox after a concert.

Morgan, Pierre Blanchar, Line Noro, Jacques Louvigny, Jean Desailly
Synopsis:
This adaptation of André
Gide's classic novel tells of a pastor's forbidden love for a blind
girl... and the tragic consequences of that passion. The cleric
takes charge of the orphaned Gertrude, and devotes all his care and
affection to her. As she grows to womanhood, his initially
charitable behaviour becomes compromised by romantic desires.
Gertrude, however, remains literally blind to her guardian's
emotions, and their effects on his wife and family. Until, one day,
everything changes.
