Arnaud Desplechin set out to celebrate cinemas and their manifold magic. He walked in the footsteps of his young alter ego Paul Dédalus, as if in a filmgoer’s coming-of-age story. Memories, fiction, discoveries come together in an irrepressible torrent of pictures.
The warm, inviting tone of the film and Desplechin’s use of a stunning selection of movie clips should make this hugely appealing for cinephiles who will consider it must-see.
‘Cheerfully makes the point that we grow with cinema, and cinema with us’ – Variety.
We hope to welcome French filmmaker Mathieu Amalric for a Q&A after the screening. (tbc)
