- Gérard Depardieu, Marguerite Duras
In this talky work, director Marguerite Duras and actor Gérard Depardieu sit before the camera and read a screenplay aloud. No action or location shots appear; the only visuals are the two of them. The script depicts a blank‑slate female hitchhiker meeting a communist truck driver, while Duras interjects with bitter commentary on the failure of communist ideals and the unlikely promise of revolution.
