A woman sets out to discover the truth about her heritage in this drama from filmmaker Benoit Jacquot. Jeanne (Isild Le Besco) is a young woman who has begun to enjoy success as an actress. While visiting her mother on her birthday, Jeanne is made party to a long-held family secret -- her father is not the man she has known all her life, but a gentleman from India her mother met while visiting there. Jeanne has a keen desire to meet her father, and takes on a film role she previously rejected in order to make the journey to India and see the man who gave her life. Also featuring Marc Barbe and Berangere Bonvoisin, L'Intouchable received its world premiere at the 2006 Venice Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Michel Piccoli plays Akiva Liebskind, a Russian chess genius in the Swiss-filmed Dangerous Moves. He is pitted against Soviet exile Pavius Fromm (Alexandre Arbatt), who, since childhood, has dreamed of nothing but defeating Liebskind. Both men soon become obsessed with winning. Already suffering from a weak heart, Liebskind courts a coronary, while the increasingly paranoid Fromm is convinced that his opponent is spying on him from every corner. The KGB enters into the game by attempting to sabotage Fromm, hoping that by doing so they will discredit everyone who's ever publicly opposed the Soviet government. Dangerous Moves was the 1984 recipient of the Best Foreign-Language Picture Academy Award. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
