"Cardillac"
Cardillac is a master jeweler who cannot live without his creations, killing his clients to recuperate them and assert his authorship. Director André Engel sets his production in the 1920's, the period during which Cardillac was composed, a time of incredible creativity, and the glorious epoch of silent movies and popular novels.
