Another View 2001 / Mortel transfert / France 2000
Doctor Michel Durand is beginning to be seriously bored by his job as a stereotypical psychoanalyst. It frequently happens that while listening to his patients’ problems he falls into a kind of narcoleptic state accompanied by ever weirder dreams. One day he accepts a new patient named Olga Kubler, an attractive, mysterious and rather mad young woman who confides two problems to him: first, she’s a kleptomaniac and, second, she vexes her husband, the influential and filthy rich Max, with her uncommon ideas about love. Yet not even the seductive Olga can prevent Dr Durand from falling into his usual half-conscious, dreamlike state in which the border between reality and fantasy has dissolved. When Durand snaps out of it he finds Olga still lying on the couch, but to his horror she’s dead. Another patient knocks on the door. Durand must act quickly and that’s when the trouble begins.

Jean-Jacques Beineix (1946) pracoval jako asistent R. Clémenta, C. Zidiho a dalších režisérů a natočil několik krátkých filmů. Prvních úspěchů dosáhl svým celovečerním debutem Diva (1980), který se stal kultovním filmem a získal čtyři Césary. Dalšími filmy La lune dans le caniveau (Měsíc v kanále, 1983) a 37,2 le matin (Betty Blue, 1986) upevnil Beineix svou pověst provokativního režiséra, pracujícího s estetikou 80. let. Z dalších filmů: Roselyne et les lions (Roselyne a lvi, 1989), IP5, l’Ile aux pachydermes (IP5, ostrov tlustokožců, 1992). V posledních letech Beineix natočil několik dokumentárních filmů a uspořádal výstavy svých obrazů.
