Nov 09, 1999
Follows an extraordinary weekend in the not-so-extraordinary life of Jinho. The story unravels around the fatalistic pattern of our meek hero's existence-where a chance meeting with the devil offers Jinho an escape hatch to his daily humdrum, and a shot at his greatest fantasy: a night of unbridled passion with all the women of his choosing as his personal sex slaves. Jinho's shy and idiosyncratic character, however, belie the true greed and foolery of his own desires-and steeped in his "Sysphus-esque" lack of self-knowledge, he falls prey to the glitter of the forbidden fruit.

Apostrophes

Jun 22, 1990
Magazine culturel consacré à la littérature. L'émission proposait des discussions ouvertes entre quatre ou cinq auteurs autour d’un sujet commun, mais également des entrevues individuelles avec un seul auteur. En 15 ans d’existence, Apostrophes est devenu l'émission littéraire emblématique à la télévision française de cette période, notamment grâce à la personnalité de son présentateur Bernard Pivot, la diversité et la qualité de ses intervenants, voire des polémiques qui surgirent épisodiquement lors de l'émission.
