Also on the same date, Giuseppe Tornatore's film
A Pure Formality (1994), starring Gérard Depardieu, Roman Polanski, and Sergio Rubini.
Synopsis: Onoff (Gérard Depardieu) is a once-famous French writer who has remained out of the public eye in recent years, but when the police spot him running in the rain in the general vicinity of a murder site, they take him into custody for questioning. Confronted by the inspector (Roman Polanski), Onoff claims that he has no recollection of the evening's events, resulting in a back-and-forth between the two men that may or may not result in the uncovering of the truth.
