A surreal invocation of totalitarism and tyranny, set on a vividly imagined, claustrophobic fortress island, where a perverse sadism rules, and love invariably threatens disasters. Borowczyk exhibits the savage eye of a former animator. But this is no cartoon Kafka, it&rsquo;s not as comforting as that.

Pour &laquo; l&rsquo;amour de l&rsquo;art de l&rsquo;amour &raquo;, le ma&icirc;tre du jeu met en branle un man&egrave;ge, une ronde de plaisirs et de ruptures dans laquelle vont &ecirc;tre emport&eacute;s plusieurs couples &eacute;ph&eacute;m&egrave;res. Ainsi,&nbsp;&agrave; Vienne en 1900, une prostitu&eacute;e s&rsquo;amourache d&rsquo;un soldat, qui la quitte au matin pour les bras d&rsquo;une servante, qui c&egrave;de &agrave; son tour au charme du fils de famille, qui tente de s&eacute;duire une femme mari&eacute;e. Le jeu continuera ainsi jusqu&rsquo;&agrave; ce que se boucle cet infernal cercle amoureux.

Honor&eacute; Panisse is dying, cheerfully, with friends, wife, and son at his side. He confesses to the priest in front of his friends; he insists that the doctor be truthful. But, he cannot bring himself to tell his son Cesariot that his real father is Marius, the absent son of C&eacute;sar, Cesariot&#x27;s godfather. Panisse leaves that to Fanny, the lad&#x27;s mother. Dissembling that he&#x27;s off to see a friend, Cesariot then seeks Marius, now a mechanic in Toulon. Posing as a journalist, Cesariot spends time with Marius and leaves believing tales he is a petty thief. Only after the truth comes out can Marius, Fanny, C&eacute;sar, and Cesariot step beyond the falsehoods, benign though they may be.

Soon after the Great War, the Provence village of Salezes gets a new boys&#x27; teacher: Mr. Pascal, a war hero with a diploma from a teachers&#x27; college. He rejects old methods: boys&#x27; sitting still with arms folded memorizing facts. He uses modern methods: he becomes their guide. The boys build a water-powered electric generator, interview their parents about shoe-making and cooking, draw, write poetry, and, after Pascal brings a box of type, put their own magazine together, printed on the backs of old ballots. Their new interest in critical thinking stirs opposition from the mayor and others. The teacher offers a deal: if even one student fails the national exam, he&#x27;ll resign. All eyes are on Albert, an older youth who has failed three times.
