I just started reading Yoko Tawada's The Naked Eye, and it's very good so far, but I've run into a bit of a stumbling block to my enjoyment, and I was wondering if someone around here might be able to help me. Each of the thirteen chapters of Tawada's novel is named after and intimately connected to a film starring Catherine Deneuve. The ways in which this plays out are never less than intriguing, but I had wanted to watch each film before attempting its respective chapter, and some of the Deneuve vehicles referenced are pretty obscure. So, can anyone point me in the direction of any of the following films? Even plot synopses would be greatly appreciated.

Zig zig, László Szabó, 1975
Drôle d'endroit pour une rencontre, François Dupeyron, 1988
Si c'était à refaire, Claude Lelouch, 1976

Si c'était à refaire, from the French wikipedia, they say" After a long stay in prision, a woman rediscovers his 15 years-old son thank's to Social Services. and on the imdb you can find a plot

About Drôle d'endroit pour une rencontre. My translation: A man and a woman meets in a highway stop. She's been abandoned by his husband, after a violent argument (harder than others discussions). She decides to wait. He is "in pane", he repairs his motor, desires to be alone, he wants to flirt her, finally he tries to conquer her.

There's no information about Zig zig
