Rätselhafte Morde und berühmte bretonische Chocolatiers Noch nie war Kommissar Dupin so froh, einen neuen Fall zu haben, wie an diesem Frühsommertag. Mit einem Bein steht er bereits auf einem bedrohlich schwankenden Boot, um unter der Anleitung eines Coaches seine Angst vor dem Meer zu überwinden, als ihn der Anruf erreicht: Eine Frau ist ertrunken. Allerdings nicht im Atlantik, sondern in einem Bottich aus Schokolade. Was kurios anmutet, entpuppt sich als kaltblütiger Mord an der Inhaberin einer alteingesessenen Confiserie in Concarneau. Wer hatte es auf die mutige Unternehmerin abgesehen? Sind weitere Menschen in Gefahr? Um den dunklen Geheimnissen der Schokoladenwelt auf den Grund zu gehen, begeben sich Kommissar Dupin und Nolwenn, seine unersetzliche Mitarbeiterin, auf einen rasanten Roadtrip quer durch die Bretagne und bis ins Baskenland.

This volume is the first to examine, in either French or English, the films of Jean-Jacques Beineix, often seen as the best example of the 1980s cinéma du look, with cult films, such as Diva and Betty Blue (37º 2 le matin) .. After an introduction which places Beineix in the context of the 1980s and the arguments centering on a postmodern cinema, the volume devotes a chapter to each of Beineix's feature films, including the film which marked his return to feature film making after a break of a decade, Mortel Transfert (2001). Prefaced by an excellent foreword by the director himself, which includes a broad condemnation of French critics. Includes many illustrations direct from the director's own collection, complementing the interviews Powrie made with him and his collaborators.
