MovieThe Breasts of Tirésias
1982 · Released · 56 min
In a surreal staging, Thérèse indignantly refuses her role as procreator. In a gesture of revolt, she gets rid of her breasts and renames herself Tirésias. To populate Zanzibar, her husband must have children. With a prologue written by Guillaume Apollinaire, this avant-garde play from 1917 bears witness to the first impulses of feminism.

Movie6.6How to become a man when your mother and your closed circle have decided otherwise? This is the challenge Guillaume took up. The film recounts Guillaume's tragicomic battle from the young age of eight, as he adopts the role of a girl then of a homosexual... until, aged 30, he meets the woman who, after his mother, will become the other woman in his life. Beyond this story of a heterosexual coming-out, the film tells the tale of an actor who never stopped loving women, maybe even a little too much.
Movie7.5This Surrealist film, with a title referencing the Communist Manifesto, strings together short incidents based on the life of director Luis Buñuel.

Touching briefly on subjects such as execution, pedophilia, incest, and sex, the film features an array of characters, including a sick father and incompetent police officers.

Hulot's sister, however, wants to win him over to her new way of life, and conspires to set him up with a wife and job.
