When Jerzy Kosinski's novel Being There was published in 1971, Peter Sellers was so impressed by it that he sent a telegram to his author saying "Available in my garden or outside of it" with his phone number. The book, a scratchy satire against political power strongly conditioned by the seductive charm of television, tells the story of Chance, an illiterate and retarded fifty year old who never came out of the villa whose garden he tends.

The Pink Panther 1963
In The Pink Panther Blake Edwards combines the luxurious settings of the James Bond films with a series of cultural references: advertising, comics, Jacques Tati and the Feydeau farce, but above all introduces a legendary character who will outlive his creators and the passing weather. Peter Sellers certainly does not imagine that with his first appearance as the clumsy and bungling Inspector Clouseau - an inept man who believes himself to be the greatest French detective - he will beginโฆ

One man kills another in an abandoned building. The first is Leonard Shelby (an extraordinary Guy Pearce) and suffers from short-term amnesia.

Once Upon a Time in America 1984
In Once Upon a Time in America Sergio Leone traces the rise of Noodles and Max (superbly played by Robert De Niro and James Woods), and their gang of very young Jewish immigrants who, as they grow up, will reach the top of New York's organized crime scene. The film begins and ends in a den above a Chinese shadow puppet theater, where Noodles is used to smoke opium, a drug that increases visionary abilities and alters the perception ofโฆ
