A talk show presented by Michel Drucker

A Parigi, Lulu, un poliziotto appassionato, lavora con la fede di un novellino, nonostante la burocrazia sclerotica, l'incompetenza o la negligenza di alcuni suoi colleghi. Nella sua nuova posizione di ispettore di stupefacenti, cerca di mantenere la sua sanità mentale mentre è testimone della peggiore condizione umana.

In this "inside look" at French filmmaking, Marechal - who is a has-been director - a producer, Vito Catene and Camile Dor, a big-name actress, have agreed to make a film about drugs, but don't have a story, financing, or any of the other elements needed to make it. This doesn't stop them; they cobble together the financing and begin shooting anyway. The producer is very fond of the leading actress, and when she gets hooked on drugs for real in the course of shooting what he feels to be a farcical imitation of a film, he gives up his shares in the film and heads off for the back of beyond (Zanzibar) to lick his wounds. To add insult to injury, the film winds up being a critical and commercial success.

Un'organizzazione criminale rapisce ragazze ricche e belle col duplice scopo di incassare i riscatti e di rifornire una lussuosa “pension” per pervertiti sessuali. L'ambiguo padre dell'astuta Caroline è nel giro. Come il solito, Robbe-Grillet gioca col cinema o, meglio, con le strutture narrative, offrendo allo spettatore gli elementi di un intreccio che scompone e ricompone come carte da gioco, pervertendo regole e stereotipi del genere poliziesco con ammiccamenti ironici e allusioni spiazzanti. Riservato a chi è disposto a giocare.

This satire concerns three French singing idols and their attempt to stay in the public eye. A press conference, backstage hedonism, psychedelia, manipulative managers and disc jockeys are portrayed as the pop culture is thoroughly and effectively lampooned in this independent feature.

Two members of the French Academy agree to help the attractive young veterinarian Esther investigate the suspicious death of her sister.
