“I love improvisation. I still do. For me it’s the way I like to be acting, you see. I have some words to say, of course. And when the director doesn’t say anything on how to be acting, I sort of like to improvise something.”

    STAVISKY...

    ALAIN RESNAIS France, 1974

    Alain Resnais immerses himself in the shadowy and macabre world of the 1930s French aristocracy for his 1970s biographical drama, Stavisky. Romantic, even elegiac, and very much stalked by death, this game of deception stars the legendary New Wave star Jean-Paul Belmondo.

    PAPA, THE LIL' BOATS

    NELLY KAPLAN France, 1971

    Making a delightful mockery of male selfishness and paternal control, Nelly Kaplan’s riotous kidnapping comedy revels in the zany pleasure of misbehaving. Ingeniously adept at turning men into obedient lapdogs, Sheila White’s adorably kooky heiress kicks, screams, and seduces her way to freedom.
