Jean-Pierre Mocky, who also directed and produced Les Araignees de la Nuit ("Spiders of the Night"), stars as a police inspector busy investigating the deaths of several French presidential candidates. After hearing that the favorite contender was killed in the middle of a speech, Gordone's (Mocky) secretary Denise (Patricia Barzyk) joins the policeman in his research. Though they suspect the deaths are being ordered by the incumbent president, the only real lead the two have to work with is an unlikely network of men at every level of society who share one thing--a spider tattoed on their wrists.

In this made-for-television thriller, the race is on to save the life of a major soccer star who has been kidnapped. Reviewers found the pace hectic, and the acting by former soccer star Istvan Bubik energetic but not particularly good. However, the scenic town of Pecz is shown to very good effect. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

The black humor of director (and lead actor) Jean-Pierre Mocky takes over in this attempt to make a lunatic killer appear not so different from his victims -- or the police chasing him. Ralph Enger (Mocky) was a doctor before he was institutionalized, and after his escape, he takes two hostages: Steff Muller (Peter Semler), an out-of-work carpenter selling his expensive Mauser for needed funds, and Liliane (Patricia Barzyk), a gorgeous dancer. Ralph not only gets two hostages, he gains a weapon at the same time. His goal is to force the wealthy nerds living in the Riviera's luxury district to put up funding for a children's hospital to treat kids who are victims of war. When the elite do not comply, he starts uses the Mauser. Leaving an obvious trail for the police to follow, the over-the-edge doctor and his two hostages are soon corralled and it looks like Ralph's charity work may have ended -- or at least, that's how it looks. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

With this 410-minute epic, Prolific Portuguese director Manoel de Oliveira adapts the 7-hour stage play of Catholic playwright Paul Claudel. Two people -- Dona Prouheze (Anne Consigny) and Don Rodigue (Luis Miguel Cintra) have fallen in love but are honor-bound to renounce their passion for a greater love of God. Dona Prouheze is particularly devout and has offered her satin slipper to the Virgin Mary in exchange for the Virgin's protection against sin. She dies as virginal as when she was born, while Don Rodrigue conquers Asian lands for king and country. As his life progresses, he becomes more and more devoted to painting religious subjects on his ship, rebuffing the royal attempts to get him back into active duty. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide
