The Sleeping Beauty remains, as Rudolf Nureyev often called it, the 'ballet of ballets'.

They were a bodyguard, a photographer, a bystander, and the future widow of the President. They were all in Dallas, Texas: on 22 November 1963. From that day forward, the assassination of John F.

Documentary about the murders of six Russian journalists between 1995 and 2003 and the subsequent police investigation which some, including human rights lawyer Karen Nersisyan have seen as a cover up.

On May 18, 1936, Abe Sada, a former geisha, kills her lover by "erotic asphyxiation", then slices his sex and inscribes his name in his flesh. In an ultra-controlled and militarized Japan, the press is passionate about this transgressive incident, while the murderer defends herself, presenting her crime as an act of "crazy love". Relayed to the West, this murder conveys the image of a fantasized Japan, where all impulses are given free rein.

An initiative from Pompidou Center, filmed by Jean Marie Straub.
