A strange and beautiful variation on Hitchcock`s Vertigo, French director Andr Tchin`s Barocco stars Isabelle Adjani as the girlfriend of a boxer (Grard Depardieu) who`s being paid to smear a political candidate.

But when the blackmail goes wrong and the boxer is killed, his killer (Depardieu again) follows Adjani, seeking the boxer`s money ... but slowly he becomes obsessed with Adjani, and she in turn decides to remake him into her dead lover .
