The Man Who Lies (1968)
A film built on constant confrontation of truth and lies, reality and pretension, the word and the image. The protagonist is a stranger who arrives in a small Slovak town. He mystifies the locals with his engaging, though often quite unbelievable stories about the hero of the resistance movement, gaining the admiration and affection of several women in the process. Jean-Louis Trintignant won the Best Actor award at the Berlin International Film Festival in 1968.
Eden and After (1970)
Café Eden is the meeting place of a group of bored, apathetic students. One night, a stranger walks in and lures them into a strange game. He takes them away to an exotic land far away after giving all of them some psychotropic substance with the effect that they lose the ability of telling the difference between illusions and reality. They become witnesses and participants of acts of sexual aggression and violence, all of which may be real just as well as drug-induced fantasies.
