Jacqueline Blanc

Directed by Henri Fescourt.

An elliptical, poetic film about an American woman sportswriter who wanders around Paris remembering traumatic experiences in her life.

Based on Charles Cunat's novel, Surcouf tells a romanticized version of the life story of Robert Surcouf, a French privateer and slave trader who operated in the Indian Ocean from the end of the 18th century to the beginning of the 19th century.

The story is about a superstitious village, where the mayor has sold a tower to an unknown, who is soon suspected of being the devil.
