La Diagonale du fou (1984)
1983, Genève : Championnat du monde d'échecs où vont s'affronter Akiva Liebskind, 52 ans, moscovite, champion du monde d'échecs, invaincu depuis 12 ans et Pavius Fromm, 35 ans, passé à l'Ouest depuis 5 ans ; le lion et le tigre, le maître et l'élève, le soviétique et le dissident. Deux personnages durs, forts, entiers. Une compétition haletante. Le face-à-face de deux hommes, l'opposition de deux forces qui s'affrontent sur l'échiquier du monde.
Directeur: Richard Dembo
