IFFR 1997

Unusual, very autobiographical film about mourning; a self-destructive protagonist (Cavalier himself), whose face is hidden by bandages, alone in his apartment.

Politically-committed first feature by Cavalier, in which a woman (Romy Schneider) is unable to choose between her fascist husband and her liberal lover.

Le combat dans l'île
