- On the French Polynesian island of Tahiti, the high commissioner of the Republic and French government must investigate an ongoing rumor: the sighting of a submarine whose ghostly presence could herald the return of French nuclear testing.
- Madame de Dumeval, the Duke de Tesis and the Duke de Wand, libertines expelled from the court of Louis XVI, seek the support of the Duc de Walchen, German seducer and freethinker, lonely in a country where hypocrisy and false virtue reign.
- Upon returning from a hunting expedition, King Louis XIV feels a sharp pain in his leg. He begins to die, surrounded by loyal followers in the royal chambers.
- Famous lover Casanova now long past his prime, meets Count Dracula during a journey to Transylvania.
- Explores the spiritual pain of bullfighting, the tormented torero in a ring, one of the most excessive and graphic examples of the origin of Southern European civilization
- In this minimalist take on Cervantes' Don Quixote story, there are no windmills - only wind, trees, grass and sunlight. It is a soulful study of two lone figures against an unspoiled landscape.
- Three wise men embark on a journey to see the newborn Jesus Christ.
- Louis XIV is no newcomer to Albert Serra's filmography, the hero of his latest opus to date, THE DEATH OF LOUIS XIV (2016). ROI SOLEIL features a twin, even though, in the game of differences, it turns out that there are quite a few. Instead of Jean-Pierre Léaud, a non-professionnal actor whom Serra already worked with in his first films.
- The study of inland water ecosystems.
- Loving cult film and idiosyncratic musical portrait of summer festivities in the Catalan village of Crespià, with early performances by the well-known faces from the work of Serra.
- Reflection on the construction of Europe, its cultural identity and its foundations through the complete adaptation of the texts Conversations with Goethe, by J.P. Eckermann, Hitler's Table Talks and Fassbinder uber Fassbinder: Die ungekurzten Interviews (compilation of interviews with the German filmmaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder, which is used as a counterpoint to the first two books).
- A short in honour of Ranier Werner Fassbinder by Albert Serra.
- Poetic portrait of the non-profesional actor Lluís Serrat Massanellas, friend and collaborator of Albert Serra, while revisiting the work of filmmakers Danièle Huillet and Jean-Marie Straub.
- The film takes place in Ireland - an Ireland where people speak Catalan with a Fassbinder accent - from the 1930 to today, and follows in several parallel directions the sprawling saga of two rival gold mines, the exploitation of artists by Capital, and the simultaneous opening of a brothel where women do not like men. Because he does things his own way, Albert Serra's most narrative and wordy film was not meant for cinema: produced by the Venice Biennale, it was part of an installation, its chapters shown simultaneously on several screens. Singularity could very well have been called "Velvet Goldmine", as it sings the meeting of brothels and tunnels, of a golden stud and lustful bodies (both shown as abstractions). In all its monumental and relaxed length, it offers us at once an intense aesthetic ride and a detailed reflection on the balance of human urges (the libidinal kind, especially). The film is carried by all of Serra's regular actors, it is saturated with purely theoretical homosexuality and endless conversations, and its period-sitcom plot progressively unfolds until it dissolves into the uncertain future of humankind.
- Eternal life is getting harder for the undead Tina, who subsists on the transfer of energies accessed during the male orgasm. When her partner-in-crime gives in to suicidal ennui, Tina is left alone to protect her species from extinction.
- A mysterious figure rises from dried earth and descends upon a drought-stricken town, driven by thirst, like Tantalus. Nature, or some God, has meted out punishment, and there's no hope for sharing water.
