Fiammetta Ortega

Horror themed short about cannibal girl and devil woman

A radical film that is at once a scathing questioning of cinema, a fierce attack against ideological sclerosis, an obvious model of total science fiction.

Dans une agence matrimoniale, deux couples sont formés par erreur lors d'un malencontreux brassage de cartes. Le premier, Blandine et Gabriel, seront rationnels et prudents jusqu'à l'échec. Le second, Marie et Jésus, romantiques jusqu'à la folie. Alors qu'ils désirent passer leur vie ensemble, Marie tombe enceinte. Sa mère, découvrant son infortune, la contraint à avorter et la sépare de Jésus.

A tragic spin on the futility of revolution, in cinema and elsewhere.

This bitter and ironic satire illustrates the universal problems with youth and their revolt against the bourgeois establishment. The man becomes a symbolic victim of what he is protesting and resigns himself to a gloomy future with bleak prospects for humankind. This directorial debut for Jean Pierre Lajournade was well received at the 1970 Mannheim Film Festival.

French short adaptation of Herman Melville's classic. The employee of a lawyer is in a mental hospital following a scandal. Some time later, he finds his employer.
