continues a season of films of fantasy and prediction. Starring
Romy Schneider Harvey Keitel
In a frantic search for ratings and a gimmick, NTv, a television network, devises a macabre game of death. Viewers will share the day-to-day experiences of someone who is dying. Having selected a young girl,
Katherine, as their 'victim', the network implant a television camera in the head of Roddy, one of their employees. His job is to record Katherine's last days on earth. But they have reckoned without the rebellious nature of the two participants in the 'game' ... Director Tavernier's film is part science fiction, part drama and part horror story as well as being a fierce attack on the cynicism of the power of the media.
Screenplay by DAVID RAYFIELD and BERTRAND TA VERNIER based on the novel The Continuous Katherine Mortenhoe by DAVID COMPTON
Produced by JEAN-SERGE BRETON Directed by BERTRAND TAVERNIER
