- 2002
Directed by Noah Nuer, Cavalcades follows a rebellious young woman and her anxious homosexual friend as they encourage one another to leave their hang-ups in the past. Taking place over a period of days, Anne (Agnes Roland) is flustered over several failed university exams, while Didier (Maxime Desmons) is distraught over his mentally unsound mother's looming apartment move. The two Parisians meet via bicycle collision, and quickly find themselves friends. The topic amongst them is confronting the ways their respective familial expectations have damaged them, and attempting to resolve these issues as if death was only 20 minutes away. Cavalcades also features Josy Bernard, Julian Lambroschini, Christian Sinniger, Chantal Bronner, Alain Rimoux, and Blanche Raynal.

In this French language film, which harkens back to detective films of the '50s, senior acting students from the National Theater of Strasbourg (France) play at being hardened has-beens. There is some novelty in a film in which all the actors are in their early 20s. The story concerns the efforts of a young man to unravel the story behind the suicide of his brother. As he proceeds with his investigations, he runs across a revolutionary underground organization and a host of shady and untrustworthy characters. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
