other title: Un steack trop cuit / Un steak trop cuit
Though a piece of meat figures in this film the real subject is, before you judge something not just a steak, think twice, as for instance the way two people in a situation present themselves to each other.

阿尔卡萨戏院的座椅 (1989)
Les Sièges de l'Alcazar Douban
吕克·慕莱 actor: Olivier Maltinti / Elizabeth Moreau …
other title: Les Sièges de l'Alcazar / 围城
影片透過還原到1950年代，一位《電影手冊》影評人，固定在小戲院阿爾卡薩觀影的種種（精確來說，是五次的放映），除了將當時看電影的習慣、背景交代出來，同時也描寫了影評人之間的交流與溝通。 這當然又是一部所謂的「影片影評」，它有許多的影迷式鄉愁，但也有生動趣味的情感，比如男主角愛上《正片》雜誌的女記者，她剛好是與男主角在品味上、觀點上對著幹的人。 一如往常，穆勒的影片依舊低成本，但這部關於觀影的種種，卻足以勾起每一個愛看電影的觀眾的共同體驗了。

Origins of a Meal (1979)
Genèse d'un repas WikiData IMDb TMDB Douban
吕克·慕莱 actor: Luc Moullet / Antonietta Pizzorno
other title: 一顿饭的来源 / Genèse d'un repas …
Bananas, eggs, and tuna: three basic foodstuffs with three wildly different points of origin. Moullet begins with these on his plate but constructs his film by working backwards and finding the sources for these items and how they reach our plates. As Moullet’s investigation deepens, however, the film moves beyond the confines of a simple exploration of food origins into more political and social realms, not only relating to food but also to the medium of film.

Movie

The Smugglers (1968)
Les contrebandières Douban
吕克·慕莱 actor: Françoise Vatel / Monique Thiriet …
other title: 走私犯 / Les contrebandières
这部拍摄于1968年五月革命前夕，具有强烈的业余爱好者色彩，缺乏冒险经历的惊险电影讲述三个没有技能的青年迷失在旷野的故事。影片以离题万里、挑衅的闹剧形式成功地将一整个时代囊括其中。著名导演让-马里·斯特劳布将本片称做“也许不是由戈达尔拍摄的最佳影片”，而导演本人则称之为“罗布-格里耶的最佳影片”；导演更是在这部与边界和障碍有关的影片中客串了一个叫做“浮华的傻瓜”的角色。
