This highly acclaimed 1980 French film was directed by the great French director, Bertrand Tavernier (Coup de Torchon, ' Round Midnight) and filmed on location in Scotland. The story is part human drama, part futuristic drama, and focuses primarily on two people, terminally ill Katherine (Romy Schneider) and Roddy (Harvey Keitel), who after having a camera implanted into his brain is hired by the producer of the TV series, Death Watch to film a documentary of Katherine without her knowledge. Both deeply moving and a fascinating look at society in decay, it's a must-see film.
