Genre: Foreign / Drama Director: Raoul Ruiz   Cast: Catherine Deneuve, Michel Piccoli, Melvil Poupaud, Andrzej Seweryn, Bernadette Lafont, Monique Melinand, Hubert Saint-Macary, Jean-Yves Gautier, Mathieu Amalric, Camila Mora   Less-than-successful attorney Solange (Catherine Deneuve) is appointed to defend Rene (Michel Piccoli) who is accused of killing his Aunt Jeanne (also played by Catherine Deneuve). Jeanne was a psychoanalyst, and the plot follows the psychiatric vein of contemporary France—deep and boring to those not into French philosophy.
