2008 film by Jérémy Clapin

A night watchman on the Eiffel Tower wakes up to find the entire population of the city frozen in place.

A wacky scientist develops a powder that he believes will have the effect of distorting reality for those who take it. To test its effect, he tries it out on his boy assistant, his pets, his nieces, and their beaus. But, chaos ensues as his nieces don't find their appearances as funny as the rest, so Doctor Tube tries to find a way to make things right.

Shot in three days, this surreal, erotic silent short shows a native white girl teaching a futuristic African airman the Charleston dance.

Two men answer the call of the ocean in this romantic fantasy-adventure. Jacques and Enzo are a pair of friends who have been close since childhood, and who share a passion for the dangerous sport of free diving. Professional diver Jacques opted to follow in the footsteps of his father, who died at sea when Jacques was a boy; to the bewilderment of scientists, Jacques harbors a remarkable ability to adjust his heart rate and breathing pattern in the water, so that his vital signs more closely resemble that of dolphins than men. As Enzo persuades a reluctant Jacques to compete against him in a free diving contest -- determining who can dive deeper and longer without scuba gear -- Jacques meets Johana, a beautiful insurance investigator from America, and he finds that he must choose between his love for her and his love of the sea.

1987 autobiographical film directed by Louis Malle

As adults, best friends Julien and Sophie continue the odd game they started as children -- a fearless competition to outdo one another with daring and outrageous stunts. While they often act out to relieve one another's pain, their game might be a way to avoid the fact that they are truly meant for one another.

Beautiful violin virtuoso Camille has two obsessions: the music of Ravel, and a friend of her husband's who crafts violins. But his heart seems to be as cold as her playing is passionate.

The true story of Elle France editor Jean-Dominique Bauby, who, in 1995 at the age of 43, suffered a stroke that paralyzed his entire body, except his left eye. Using that eye to blink out his memoir, Bauby eloquently described the aspects of his interior world, from the psychological torment of being trapped inside his body to his imagined stories from lands he'd only visited in his mind.

小王子是一个超凡脱俗的仙童，他住在一颗只比他大一丁点儿的小行星上。陪伴他的是一朵他非常喜爱的小玫瑰花。但玫瑰花的虚荣心伤害了小王子对她的感情。小王子告别小行星，开始了遨游太空的旅行。他先后访问了六个行星，各种见闻使他陷入忧伤，他感到大人们荒唐可笑、太不正常。只有在其中一个点灯人的星球上，小王子才找到一个可以作为朋友的人。但点灯人的天地又十分狭小，除了点灯人他自己，不能容下第二个人。在地理学家的指点下，孤单的小王子来到人类居住的地球。 小王子发现人类缺乏想象力，只知像鹦鹉那样重复别人讲过的话。小王子这时越来越思念自己星球上的那枝小玫瑰。后来，小王子遇到一只小狐狸，小王子用耐心征服了小狐狸，与它结成了亲密的朋友。小狐狸把自己心中的秘密——肉眼看不见事务的本质，只有用心灵才能洞察一切——作为礼物，送给小王子。用这个秘密，小王子在撒哈拉大沙漠与遇险的飞行员一起找到了生命的泉水。最后，小王子在蛇的帮助下离开地球，重新回到他的B612号小行星上。 童话描写小王子没有被成人那骗人的世界所征服，而最终找到自己的理想。这理想就是连结宇宙万物的爱，而这种爱又是世间所缺少的。因此，小王子常常流露出一种伤感的情绪。作者圣埃克絮佩里在献辞中说：这本书是献给长成了大人的从前那个孩子。 《小王子》不仅赢得了儿童读者，也为成年人所喜爱，作品凝练的语言渗透了作者对人类及人类文明深邃的思索。它所表现出的讽刺与幻想，真情与哲理，使之成为法国乃至世界上最为著名的一部童话小说。

在读书有一种不寻求达到目的的等待。读书就是漫步。阅读就是游荡。 本书是一部奇特的作品，它与“最后的王国”三部曲中的其他两部作品一样，既不是哲学性思辨，也不是渊博的随笔，更不像小说性叙事，可以说与任何体裁都不相干。作品汇集了大量的文学片断，夹杂着个人经历、历史事件和个人思考，它并不对时间、人世、社会作出终结性评判，而只是一些“小小的思考”。 何为游荡的影子？作者在书中对书名作了阐释。影子，就是那些古往今来的圣贤，那些未分离尘世的隐修者，那些超凡脱俗的思想家。这些记忆清单中的影子在时间和空间中游荡。 从作品不难看出，作者自己也希望成为一个游荡的影子。他憧憬一种远离尘世的生活，隐忧起来，潜心研读经典著作，进行一次文化旅行。纵观整部作品，作者所写的一切似乎都围绕时间而展开，是对时间所作的深刻思考，而且时间也是“最后的王国”后两本书的中心主题。

《花事》是法国著名作家科莱特的杂文作品集，也是一本关于人生感悟的作品集。 作者说：我从没和诗人马拉美本人有过交往。他长满络腮胡子的可爱、尊贵的脸曾从我身边经过。我从未见过埃里克·萨蒂，他总是用力排挤我的一个前夫。我从没见过莫泊桑，他执意要在某顿所谓的“花酒”之后跳到马恩河里去，以免充血身亡。我从没碰到过巴尔贝·道尔维里所谓的长了鳞片的傲慢的魔鬼……然而，我很高兴在那些年间做他们的同时代人，如果不说是他们的朋友，仅仅作为见过他们的人。一天，被他那帮当地赶猎物的同伴独自留在一条美洲豹出入的小径上，他等得百无聊赖。抬起头，他看到上面有一簇兰花……一朵别致的兰花。它像极了一只乌、一只螃蟹、一只蝴蝶、一个魔法、一个性器，或许甚至还像一朵花。惊艳之下，猎人放下猎枪，并非不冒生命危险地爬了上去。他果到了兰花下来，正好看到朝他走来，朝没有武器、空空两手的他走来，一只精神饱满、容光焕发的美洲豹，它被露水打湿了，做梦般地打量了猎人一眼，继续走它的路。在依然阳光灿烂的阿尔卑斯山脉上空，一团酝酿着暴风雨的云朵，蓝得像一只野鸽子，碰着山峰。很快，满月将在星辰的白雪中潜行，直到黎明时分，那些在白天始终闭合不开放的沙地上的白百合，将变成蓝色。
