Ciné Bijou


Poster image Ciné Bijou

Over images of an abandoned movie theater slated for demolition, the voice of Guy Gilles evokes the soul of these neighborhood cinemas—magical places that gave him a certain idea of freedom, escape, and dreams. An intimate and poetic tribute to the seventh art and to its temples, now threatened or gone.

For Pleasure
The intermission drags on
But if it’s part of the show
It’s because a garage will soon be opening there

Outside
The faces of Belmondo and Karina
Gazing into the void
Carried by the off-screen of a time that left its mark

A hand brushes over a portrait of Gabin
Then, a silhouette cuts out glances
In a room that has grown too big

Nostalgia and backlighting
Or the avant-garde portrait of adolescence
Of a certain Pierre Brumeu
Everything comes together and is dusted off
Under the craftsmanship of Gilles the goldsmith
