Jezabel, a modern young woman, lives out her love stories in a frenzy. Unable to do otherwise, she throws herself body and soul into them, piling up painful situations. Frédéric, with whom she once indulged in every game, has just left her chaos behind for a more disciplined life. Tipsy at a dinner with her eccentric circle of friends straight out of Les Bains Douches, Jezabel meets Ariel, a very young and timid man of 17 years old. She likes him. Naturally excitable, and carried away by the euphoria of the evening, Jezabel sweeps Ariel along-he is seduced and does not resist. For Jezabel, the only way to approach things is to experience them fully. Ariel, until now more spectator than actor, drifts in a kind of contemporary lethargy. Jezabel suddenly feels the urge to shake him-or more precisely, to dazzle him with every shade: sensual, sexual, ambiguous, provocative.

A weather man is reluctantly sent to cover a story about a weather forecasting "rat" (as he calls it). This is his fourth year on the story, and he makes no effort to hide his frustration. On awaking the 'following' day, he discovers that it's Groundhog Day again, and again, and again. First he uses this to his advantage, then comes the realisation that he is doomed to spend the rest of eternity in the same place, seeing the same people do the same thing every day.

Best in Show

1 hr 30 mins
At the prestigious Mayflower Dog Show, a "documentary film crew" captures the excitement and tension displayed by the eccentric participants in the outrageously hilarious satire Best In Show. This biting send-up exposes the wondrously diverse dog owners who travel from all over America to showcase their four-legged contenders. Mild-mannered salesman Gerry Fleck (Eugene Levy) and his vivacious wife, Cookie (Catherine O'Hara), happily prepare their Norwich Terrier, while shop owner Harlan Pepper (Christopher Guest) hopes his Bloodhound wins top prize. As two upwardly mobile attorneys (Parker Posey and Michael Hitchcock) anxiously ready their neurotic Weimaraner and an ecstatically happy gay couple (Michael McKean and John Michael Higgins) dote on their tiny Shih Tzu, inept commentator Buck Laughlin (Fred Willard) vainly attempts to provide colorful tidbits about each breed.
