Plot: In the wake of Fellini's way over the top ancient Rome epic Satyricon,it was always obvious that there would be the inevitable deluge ofimitators. Well, strange as it may seem there was not a great tidalwave of like pieces, there were a few and this is by far the best ofthem all. It is therefore a great pity that now it is so difficult totrack down.The Golden Ass is quite simply a joy from start to finish. Samy Paveland John Steiner make a great comic double act in the first third ofthe film. Steiner especially is quite magnificent, with witty asides tothe camera and perfect comic expressions. Bouchet in the female lead isas lovely as you would expect.Not at all easy to find, but well worth taking some time over.

Plot: Hugo is a brilliant turn-of-the-century scientist-loved and respected by his family and friends, admired by his colleagues. But he is a man quickly becoming obsessed with a curious and frightening question... what is the mysterious apparition found in the photographs of his dying subjects? Hugo brings to a family boating party his newest invention-a motion picture camera. The party quickly turns into a disaster as he captures on film the tragic drowning of his wife and son. When the film is replayed later, the same ghostlike presence appears. It flies towards his son, and vanishes inside his dying body. Has Hugo discovered The Asphyx, the spirit of the dead described in Greek mythology? A spirit which lives in constant agony, not finding rest until it takes possession of a human body? Could the spirit, if captured, become the key to immortality? Hugo is compelled to find the answers. It is a ghoulish search, with eternally haunting results.
