Cinéma documentaire : fragments d'une histoire

Drawing from the images of the last century, from those of Louis Lumière (1895) to those of Yann Le Masson (1973), this film is a subjective journey through the history of cinema, particularly documentary... Comolli willingly summons through quotation Robert Flaherty, Dziga Vertov, Jean Rouch, Mario Ruspoli, Robert Drew, Johan Van der Keuken, Maurice Pialat, Guy Debord, Joris Ivens, Luis Buñuel, Shōhei Imamura, Pierre Perrault... Jean-Louis Comolli is committed to a quality documentary cinema, which he believes is the most alive and authentic part of the big screen!
