Rating80%
Au milieu des années 1920 dans un petit village fictif de Provence perdu dans la garrigue, Les Bastides Blanches, Ugolin revient du service militaire. Ce jeune paysan a un rêve : gagner de l'argent en cultivant des œillets. Son oncle, César Soubeyran, dit « le Papet », est un vieux célibataire prêt à tout pour que son neveu réussisse et se marie, afin que se transmette son nom, dont Ugolin est l'unique héritier. L'aboutissement de ces projets nécessite une source sur ses terres, un bien extrêmement précieux. La « ferme des Romarins » conviendrait parfaitement.

François Pignon, an unassuming divorced man with a teenage son who ignores him, lives a quiet and unremarkable life. When he learns he will be fired from his job as an accountant in a rubber factory, he contemplates suicide, but his new neighbor Jean-Pierre Belone, a former industrial psychologist, dissuades him from jumping from his balcony and suggests a way to keep his position. Belone proposes that Pignon start a rumor he is homosexual by inserting his image in sexually provocative snapshots of a gay couple in a bar and anonymously mailing them to his boss, Mr. Kopel. The factory's primary product is condoms, so the gay community's support is essential, and Kopel will have to keep Pignon on the payroll to avoid charges of anti-homosexual bigotry.

Ancien dessinateur, Victor est aujourd'hui un sexagénaire désabusé. Son mariage avec Marianne bat de l'aile et il est désintéressé et dépassé par ce monde moderne trop technologique. Pour lui remonter le moral, son fils Maxime lui paie une soirée organisée par la société de son ami Antoine. Cette société propose à ses clients de revivre l'époque de leur choix, en mélangeant artifices théâtraux et reconstitution historique. Certains clients, fortunés, choisissent ainsi de passer une soirée avec William Faulkner, Adolf Hitler ou avec des aristocrates au XVII siècle. D'abord réticent, Victor accepte quand Marianne le met à la porte. Il opte alors pour replonger dans la semaine la plus marquante de sa vie, celle où il rencontra le grand amour, quarante ans auparavant, le 16 mai 1974, dans le café La Belle Époque à Lyon. Dans cette « mise en scène », Marianne est incarnée par Margot, une comédienne qui vit une relation compliquée et tumultueuse avec Antoine. Ce dernier, ancien scénariste, est très pointilleux et ne supporte aucune approximation de la part de ses collaborateurs. Peu à peu, Victor va se prêter au jeu, jusqu'à se perdre dans ces souvenirs « reconstitués ».

Jacques Mazel, the son of a wealthy merchant, and Patricia Amoretti, daughter of a well-digger, live in a small village in the Provence region of France while Europe is at the brink of World War I. She has just turned 18 and is smitten with the handsome Jacques when he carries her across a stream to bring lunch to her father who is digging a well. After their second encounter Jacques, a French Air Force pilot, is unexpectedly reassigned. He must leave immediately to replace a pilot who recently broke his leg. Because he cannot meet Patricia as planned the next morning, he leaves an explanatory letter for her but his overly protective mother burns the letter. Patricia concludes Jacques rejected her because they come from different social classes. Later, Patricia discovers that Jacques has left her with child. The parents of Jacques reject the idea that their son conceived a child out of wedlock and refuse to acknowledge the baby. Her father, who had idolized her, sends Patricia to live with his sister in another village to spare his four other daughters from learning of the illegitimate child. Patricia declines an offer of marriage from her father's friend, Félipe, partly because her younger sister, Amanda, has a crush on him. Eventually, Jacques, who was thought to have been shot down by the Germans, returns from a POW camp and learns he has a son.

Il demande à cette étudiante perturbatrice de lui donner son nom, puis de définir Prénom et Nom, puisqu'il n'est pas sensé , comme de juste de connaître tous les prénoms étrangers. Il fait aussi remarquer que le droit français a évolué depuis Napoléon I, contrairement à la Charia, ce qui est vrai. Il donne pour exemple le choix des prénoms, il plaisante : " avant il fallait choisir le prénom dans le calendrier, à présent on peut appeler son enfant Carte Orange". Du coup, assez bizarrement, il est accusé de racisme. Pour se racheter et un peu manipulé par le directeur de l'université qui « ne peut plus le couvrir », Pierre est contraint de préparer Neïla à un prestigieux concours d’éloquence. Malgré son cynisme et son exigence, Neïla semble trouver en Pierre le mentor dont elle avait besoin. Tous deux vont cependant devoir tout d'abord passer au-dessus de leurs préjugés respectifs.

During the late 16th century, Catholics and Protestant Huguenots are fighting over political control of France, which is ruled by the neurotic, hypochondriac King Charles IX (Jean-Hugues Anglade), and his mother, Catherine de' Medici (Virna Lisi), a scheming power player. Catherine decides to make an overture of goodwill by offering up her daughter Margot (Isabelle Adjani) in marriage to Henri de Bourbon (Daniel Auteuil), a prominent Huguenot and King of Navarre, although she also schemes to bring about the notorious St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre of 1572, when thousands of Protestants are slaughtered. The marriage goes forward but Margot, who does not love Henri, begins a passionate affair with the soldier La Môle (Vincent Pérez), also a Protestant from a well-to-do family. Murders by poisoning follow, as court intrigues multiply and Queen Catherine's villainous plotting to place her son the Duke of Anjou (Pascal Greggory) on the throne threatens the lives of La Môle, Margot and Henri of Navarre. A book with pages painted with arsenic is intended for Henri but instead causes the slow, agonizing death of King Charles. Henri escapes to Navarre and sends La Môle to fetch Margot, but Guise apprehends him. La Môle is beheaded in the Bastille before Margot can save him, and King Charles finally dies. Margot escapes carrying La Môle's embalmed head as Anjou is proclaimed King of France as Henry III.
