Bonjour Monsieur Comolli Bonjour Monsieur Comolli (2023) Character: N/A
A few months before he died, Jean-Louis Comolli meets up with Dominique Cabrera for some free conversations with Isabelle Le Corff. They talk about cinema, life, love, death and Chassagne-Montrachet wine. There is laughter and smiles. One is not really serious at the age of eighty.
La Carrière de Suzanne La Carrière de Suzanne (1963) Character: Party Guest (uncredited)
In the second of Rohmer's moral tales, he examines the relationship between two friends and a girl who at first appears easily exploited. It is a complex tale of feelings and misconceptions, acted out within the head of the main character, as part of Rohmer's attempt to more easily simulate the mindscape quality of literature within a film.
Les Carabiniers Les Carabiniers (1963) Character: Soldier with Fish
During a war in an imaginary country, unscrupulous soldiers recruit poor farmers with promises of an easy and happy life. Two of these farmers write to their wives of their exploits.

Lemmy Caution is on a mission to eliminate Professor Von Braun, the creator of a malevolent computer that rules the city of Alphaville. Befriended by the scientist’s daughter Natasha, Lemmy must unravel the mysteries of the strictly logical Alpha 60 and teach Natasha the meaning of the word “love.”
Nicolas Philibert, Hasard et Nécessité Nicolas Philibert, Hasard et Nécessité (2020) Character: N/A
This is a peaceful conversation between two filmmakers, Nicolas Philibert and Jean-Louis Comolli. A conversation, or the pleasure of spending time together. Nicolas Philibert describes with great precision his way of working and invites us to examine the ethical dimension of his process.
