Plots(1)
From Valence d´Agen to Paris, from movie-going to the practical details of directing, André Techiné recounts his career as a post-New-Wave director: his enchantment with the films of Jacques Demy, his love of the American cinema of the sixties, his first film, Souvenirs d´en France (French Provincial, 1975), shot in his home town, and Lieu du crime (Scene Of The Crime, 1986), his encounter with Jeanne Moreau, Catherine Deneuve, etc. In counterpoint to this interview, the film also features Jacques Nolot, long-standing friend, actor and script writer of La Matiouette (1983) and J´embrasse pas (I Don´t Kiss, 1991). The film is illustrated with excerpts from Souvenirs d´en France, Lieu du crime and Les roseaux sauvages (The Wild Reeds, 1994). (official distributor synopsis)
