    From 1994, In Custody follows university scholar Deven (Om Puri), who is tasked by a magazine editor to interview the greatest living Urdu poet, the aging Nur (Shashi Kapoor, Shakespeare Wallah). Thrilled to meet his idol and rekindle his interest in the dying Urdu language, Deven’s ideals are shattered when the poet proves to be a difficult subject. Forging ahead, and meeting numerous setbacks along the way, the unlikely pair eventually form a bond over their mutual appreciation for the beauty and power of words, and those elusive things that touch the human heart.

    Jeanne Moreau and Sam Waterston star in 1996’s The Proprietor.

    The Proprietor (1996) tells the story of Adrienne Mark (Jeanne Moreau, La Notte, The Train), a respected French-Jewish writer who lives in New York – a virtual prisoner of her memories of growing up in wartime France. When her childhood home is placed up for auction, Adrienne’s desire to purchase the property and return to her homeland is complicated by feelings of betrayal, persecution and lingering secrets regarding her mother’s death during World War II. It is a touching tale about change, friendship and of reconciling with one’s past as a way to make peace with the present.

The device belongs to Chronos, an evil corporation run by human mutants that metamorphize into monstrous soldiers called “Zoanoids”. Chronos badly wants the Guyver back and sends a gang of Zoanoids to kidnap Sean’s girlfriend, Mizuki (Vivian Wu, The Last Emperor).
