Reperages

In the story of Reperages, Victor (Jean-Louis Trintignant) is a film director who has arranged to shoot a version of Anton Chekhov's play The Three Sisters. Casting her in the lead will enable his troubled wife, who has separated from him, to earn some money and receive some much-needed emotional support. Julie (Delphine Seyrig), his wife, has a drug problem, but Cecilia (Lea Massari), her co-star, happily approaches her with just the right kind of off-camera friendship to keep her going. A young actor ironically dies while shooting his audition piece: a death scene. This strange event has a beneficial and sobering effect on everyone.
