Synopsis
Yves Zand, un réalisateur, prépare un film sur la chanteuse Barbara en étudiant des images d'archives et la musique tandis que Brigitte, l'actrice, étudie soigneusement le caractère, les gestes, les manières et les intonations de la célèbre chanteuse qu'elle interprète. Au fur et à mesure du tournage, Brigitte fusionne peu à peu avec le personnage, apprenant les partitions et imitant son expression faciale, au point de troubler le réalisateur.Actors

De retour d'un voyage en Turquie, un fils passe quelques jours à Paris chez sa mère, critique littéraire quelque peu excentrique, vivant cloîtrée au milieu de ses livres et de ses névroses. Il se retrouve rapidement bloqué dans l'antre maternel et cherche à échapper à l'étouffement, physique et moral, de celle-ci. La visite de sa sœur, jeune maman, si elle apporte un peu d'air, fait remonter à la surface le suicide d'un frère cadet, dont personne dans la famille n'est ressorti indemne et que chacun tente de gérer par des stratégies personnelles de survie.

Dans les rues de Trieste en Italie, une jeune femme part à la recherche d'un écrivain, Bobi Wohler, qui n'a jamais publié de livres de son vivant hormis ses traductions en italien des œuvres de Robert Musil et de Franz Kafka. Cet auteur fantôme serait mort dans les années 1960 et était devenu une figure du milieu littéraire et intellectuel de cette ville frontalière nourrie de la triple influence culturelle de l'empire austro-hongrois du début du siècle, de l'Italie au début de son unité, et de la Yougoslavie d'après-guerre. Bobi Wohler fréquentait Italo Svevo, Eugenio Montale, et James Joyce.

In 1961, the financially strapped author Pamela "P. L." Travers reluctantly travels from her home in London to Los Angeles to work with Walt Disney at the urging of her agent, Diarmuid Russell. Disney has pursued the film rights to her Mary Poppins stories for twenty years, having promised his daughters that he would produce a film based on them. Travers has steadfastly resisted Disney's efforts because she fears what he would do to her character. However, she has not written anything in a while and her book royalties have dwindled to nothing, so she risks losing her house. Still, Russell has to remind her that Disney has agreed to two major stipulations - no animation and unprecedented script approval - before she agrees to go.

The film is about the French film industry from 1942 to 1944 during the Nazi occupation. The film focuses on assistant director and resistance fighter Jean Devaivre and screenwriter Jean Aurenche. Aurenche is on the move so that he doesn't have to write anything collaborationist. Devaivre is in dangerous political activity. Devaivre also works for the German production company Continental Films, where he is respected. On the other hand, Aurenche's scriptwriting doesn't help how he lives and he is a womanizer which causes him to procrastinate.

Bhumika tells the life story of an actress, Usha (Smita Patil), who is the granddaughter of a famous female singer of the old tradition from Devadasi community of Goa. Usha's mother is married to an abusive and alcoholic Brahmin. Following his early death, and over her mother's objections, Usha is taken to Bombay by family hanger-on Keshav Dalvi (Amol Palekar) to audition successfully as a singer in a Bombay studio: the first step in a process, watched approvingly by Usha's doting grandmother and with horror by her mother, that will eventually carry her to on-camera adolescent stardom, and to an ill-starred love marriage with Keshav. Usha’s motives for stubbornly pursuing this relationship (culminating in a pre-marital pregnancy) with the unattractive and much older Keshav — who appears to have lusted after her since childhood — are not spelled out. Presumably she feels indebted to him for his loyalty to her family (of which he frequently reminds her) and for her own worldly success; she is also a headstrong girl who clearly enjoys her acting career and is bent on challenging her uptight mother (who opposes the match because Keshav does not belong to their caste, just as she opposes cinema itself because of its presumed un-respectability).

In 1995 Hollywood, novice screenwriter Robert Sandrich has written an autobiographical script inspired by his lover's death by AIDS-related cerebral tuberculosis. It impresses both studio executive Jeffrey Tishop and his wife Elaine, but for commercial reasons Jeffrey is willing to greenlight the project only if Robert changes his protagonist from Maurice to Maggie and shifts the focus of his plot from gay to straight people. Robert initially refuses to compromise his principles, but when Jeffrey threatens to make the film without his participation, he decides to accept the $1 million paycheck he's been offered and make the requested edits.
