...brief words, casual affections, but barely understand one another—Bardot’s character speaks no English, Palance’s hardly any French. Godard cuts back and forth between the ill-conceived new couple and Camille’s jilted screenwriter husband Paul, played by Michel Piccoli, as he reads her farewell letter. As the pair climbs into Jeremy’s fire-engine-red Alpha Romeo and peel away, the camera pans across the final words of her letter: “Je t’embrasse. Adieu. Camille...
...court case brought by the nation's chief prosecutor, who sought to outlaw the party on the grounds that it was antisecular. But these political struggles have been an awkward distraction at a critical time, and may have scared off potential foreign investors. In a report this month, Wolfango Piccoli, a Turkey expert at consultants Eurasia Group, wrote: "Despite its large parliamentary majority and past pragmatism, the government has remained essentially idle while Turkey is facing the double challenge of a slowing economy at home and a global credit crunch...

However, more explicitly than its predecessors, “No Strings Attached” captured the position of the dancer as a person that appears bound by formal restrictions, but is liberated by the music and the movement...
...shows this ascetic a vision of a modern day "black mass," taking him inside a noisy, sweaty, rockin' 1960s discotheque! "The Milky Way," Bunuel's final statement on Catholicism, is an episodic exploration of noted historical heretics, including Buñuel's professed "master," the Marquis de Sade (Michel Piccoli). Two pilgrims en route to a Spanish shrine travel from era to era, and also have "visions" (including one of a jovial, chuckling Christ chiding his stern Apostles) as they try to sort out what, if any, of the things they're hearing are true...
