Marguerite Duras and Little François

Roger Kahane / France / 1965 / Czech Premiere / 9 min.


synopsis

Marguerite Duras asks seven-year-old François about the future, television, school, the Belphegor, literature, or what is the point of writing, counting... Do you think horses will talk? That children will spend their holidays on the moon? What's the point of television? The admirably conducted conversation does not fall into banal childishness, but interestingly reveals a way of thinking.

biography

Roger Kahane (1932–2013) came from a scientific family. Despite this, he devoted himself to film, and in particular was a prolific director of television productions and series. He was known for his austere and sombre style. He liked to adapt complicated texts. Notable are his documentaries on the art world. He also devoted himself to theatre and ballet. Only his film Madly (1969) with Alain Delon is better known in Czech Republic.
