- Es ist die Geschichte eines historischen Verrats und seiner blutigen Folgen: Der filigran bestickte Teppich von Bayeux zeigt minuziös das Geschehen, das 1066 zur Schlacht bei Hastings führt, bei der der normannische Herzog Wilhelm den angelsächsischen König Harald II. besiegt und den englischen Thron erobert. Bestsellerautor Ken Follett, der den Teppich für seine historischen Romane eingehend studiert hat, sieht in der lebendigen Darstellung den ersten Zeichentrickfilm der Geschichte - entstanden in einer Zeit, als in Europa die Königreiche der Ritter erblühten. Der bald tausend Jahre alten textilen Geschichtsstunde - eine National-Ikone Frankreichs - werden zusehends fast magische Qualitäten zugesprochen: Schon Napoleon wollte seinen Generälen anhand des Teppichs beweisen, dass die Eroberung Englands weiterhin möglich sei. Weitgehend unbekannt hingegen ist, dass die Nazis es auf den Teppich abgesehen hatten, nachdem Hitlers Armee 1940 Frankreich besetzt hatte. Für sie galt Wilhelm der Eroberer als Verkörperung des eigenen Heldenideals. Der D-Day der Alliierten im Juni 1944 vereitelte in letzter Sekunde den Plan, den Teppich nach Deutschland zu entführen. Der vor dem neusten Stand der Wissenschaft mit aufwendigen Spielszenen und neu entdecktem Archivmaterial realisierte Film des preisgekrönten Dokumentarfilmers Wilfried Hauke spielt über Ort und Zeit verteilt: in der Normandie zur Zeit Wilhelms und seiner Frau Mathilde von Flandern, auf dem Schlachtfeld von Hastings 1066, in der napoleonischen Ära und im Zweiten Weltkrieg, als sich in Frankreich das Ende von Hitler-Deutschland anbahnt.
- Sometimes reduced to the image of a cursed artist, Amedeo Modigliani, an admirer of the masters of the Italian Renaissance, has traced an unparalleled path in modern art.
- Just after the Second World War, he was a bit like the French James Dean, the embodiment of the aspirations of young people of the late 1940s and early 1950s. Forty-five years after his death, the myth of Gérard Philipe is still present.
- In 1880, at the end of his life, Edouard Manet, the painter of 'Olympia' and 'The Luncheon on the Grass', is still both famous (for the scandals he created) and misunderstood. Things change at last when the Galerie de la Vie Moderne gives him the opportunity to show an overview of his whole career, thus allowing visitors to appraise his production in terms of artistic value, not basing themselves on hearsay.
- Boris Vian. A novelist? A songwriter? A playwright? A poet? A trumpet player? A music publishing company producer? A singer? A visual artist? An engineer? Well, this man was all of that, without being a Jack of all trades as he was often accused of being. For what united all those various activities was a way of being, what could be called his "jazz attitude". Vian's passion for this style of music indeed inspired his style in all the categories he covered. It even dictated his relation to life and death.
- From "The Little Mermaid" to "The Snow Queen", Hans Christian Andersen has left behind a rich collection of stories tinged with magic, but also with tragedy, which have kept a place of honor, from generation to generation, in children's libraries and the collective imagination. At the antipodes of the Grimm brothers' optimistic folk tales, the melancholy of his stories, sometimes crowned with a desperate end, speaks true to children and their parents alike. His tales, whose contemporary popularity also owes much to Disney, earned him immense fame from his maturity, beyond the borders of his native Denmark, even if the rest of his work (he was also a playwright, poet, novelist and short story writer) was hardly successful.
- Assassinated during WWII, Jean Zay (1904-1944) nevertheless left a lasting legacy in French political history. A great reformer, he particularly helped to structure the French film industry to ensure its sustainability and its influence.
