英国作家詹姆斯·米勒（威廉·施梅尔 饰）来到意大利城市托斯卡纳为新作《合法副本》举办讲座。他与读者讨论书中的观点：关于艺术创作真实性的议论是毫无必要的，因为复制品本身即是原作，原作也是由其他作品复制而来。一个做古董买卖的法国女人（朱丽叶· 比诺什 饰）带着11岁的儿子参与了讨论会，想为刚买的书索要签名。中途因为儿子饿了她提前离开，临走时留下了一个电话号码。
米勒和女人在她的古董店再次相遇，他们驱车去郊外看一样东西。她开着车载着米勒无目的游荡，谈论书的主题，参观博物馆，谈论她叛逆的儿子，两人一路上争吵不休。在一个咖啡馆，女老板以为米勒是女人的丈夫，就开始和她围绕米勒讨论起婚姻。于是他们将错就错，米勒开始扮演女人的丈夫，两人约会，去宾馆。但是副本只是复制，而非原作，米勒结束复制身份，独自离开了郊外。
比诺什凭借此片获得第63届戛纳电影节主竞赛单元最佳女演员奖。

这是每天都会发生的故事，一个墨西哥农民偷偷穿越国境来到加利福尼亚，努力工作，攒钱，为了将家人送回家乡。这个或许平凡无奇的故事在美国独立电影人罗伯特·M·扬手中变得格外强硬与写实。《非法移民》没有像其他同类题材电影那样流于伤感，而是细腻生动地调查了他们的生存状况，完成了一段扣人心弦的公路之旅，虽不乏政治属性但也没有失去对主角复杂性的展现。影片赢得1978年戛纳电影节金摄影机奖。

In GLORIA! Frampton juxtaposes nineteenth-century concerns with contemporary forms through the interfacing of a work of early cinema with a videographic display of textual material. These two formal components (the film and the texts) in turn relate to a nineteenth-century figure, Frampton's maternal grandmother, and to a twentieth-century one, her grandson (filmmaker Frampton himself). In attempting to recapture their relationship, GLORIA! becomes a somewhat comic, often touching meditation on death, on memory and on the power of image, music and text to resurrect the past.

Shot at a steel mill, Winter Solstice is full of outpourings of fire, of smoke, of sparks, of molten metal — all erupting against an otherwise black background in an activated pictorial space.
