The Last Hillbilly

Kentucky. For decades, Brian Ritchie's family has been living in the heart of the Appalachians. But the mines have been shut down, with nothing to replace them.

West Point

West Point is a 'film noir', a story of family and emigration. It's La Cabo da Rocha, Portugal, the western-most point of the European continent. Opposite the USA, it's a metaphor of Ellis Island. It's the street dances and it's the part of what has been forgotten that Alexander and his sister Jeanne must accept in order to break free from the original crime, the feeling of abandonment and the color of wheat.

Les mordus de Paris

Paris is a city where effervescence is dangerous for city dwellers, who have become nothing more than "nervous machines". Two eminent psychiatrists, one French and one American, decided to administer a sedative to all Parisians, proceeding by arrondissement, which they injected in single, double or triple doses. Soon, the whole of Paris was injected. Calm, good humor and kindness returned, but 11 refused to be treated and remained the only Parisian not to have been treated.

Paris champagne

A young flower girl on the Quai aux Fleurs, disappointed by a missed rendezvous, takes to the banks of the Seine to savor her disappointment. Her neighbor, a tramp, transforms himself into a "handsome young man with a big car", who offers her consolation in the form of an escapist trip through Paris by night. This journey into the Paris of "champagne and love" is a rapid overview of all the most famous and undressed night-time spectacles. Sound and color are as mediocre as the selection of acts presented. The hobgoblin magician then takes the young girl to the land of country dreams. It's here that the ridiculous adds to the bad taste. From unclothed, ungainly naiads, we move on to a hunt in which the game is a shivering, unenviable nymph. In the end, the young girl returns to the reality of the flower quay and her repentant fiancé.
