Out of nowhere comes Gabor (Daniel Auteuil, in a role which gained him a César), a knife thrower with a desperate need of a human target for his show. Thus begins an eccentric journey through the music halls and casinos of Monte Carlo, during which a strange symbiosis develops, although their relationship remains platonic.

SBS 3.50pm Arts on Saturday
Originally a flop, Bizet's opéra comique, based on a novel written in 1846 by Prosper Mérimée, has turned out to be one of the most successful and best-known operas ever written. This program analyses this success by looking at different versions of Bizet's Carmen - Francesco Rosi's 1984 version (To be screened next Saturday); Sir Peter Hall, Matthew Bourne and Jonathan Miller's productions, Oscar Hammerstein's 1954 movie Carmen Jones; Carlos Saura's 1983 flamenco version, Jean-Luc Godard's Prénom Carmen, as well as silent movies from the 1920s and a Disney cartoon. Various people involved in these productions are interviewed, including Peter Hall, Matthew Bourne and Jonathan Miller, and singers Julie Migenes, Maria Ewing, Sara Fulgoni and Jessye Norman.

SBS 10pm The Left-Hand Side of the Fridge (La Moitie gauche du frigo)
Winner of Best Canadian First Feature Award at the Toronto International Film Festival 2000, Philippe Falardeau's sly and incisive mockumentary, which acknowledges its debt to Michael Moore, is told through the lens of a camera manned by Stéphane (Stéphane Demers), a theatre actor who's shooting a documentary about his friend and roommate Christophe's attempts to find a job. An engineer by training, Christophe (Paul Ahmarani) vainly goes through a series of ever more absurd situations - from comic, failed interviews to meetings with fatuous employment consultants - while growing increasingly desperate. Stephane, for his part, is not a dispassionate observer - as the film progresses he forces his own anti-globalisation political agenda to the fore, so much so that he sabotages his friend's few potential opportunities.

ABC 7.30pm A World In Arms
Looks at the role of the British and French navies during the crucial 26-year period stretching from the outbreak of the French Revolution in 1789 to the decisive Battle of Waterloo in 1815.
SBS 9.30pm Masterpiece
A comprehensive and well-illustrated documentary on Pop Art, placed in its socio-political context. The program is not complacent about its art form's aesthetic, but instead justifies it by a certain criticism of the consumption society and the portrayal of women as objects. Rich in archives, "happenings", films by artists and original footage, the documentary also features interviews with Robert Rauschenberg, Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns and James Ronsenquist (US); Richard Hamilton, Allen Jones and Peter Blake (UK); Arman, Martial Raysse, Jacques Monory and Alain Jacquet (France); and Sigmar Polke, Gerhard Richter and Peter Klasen (Germany).
