Gare du Nord
Jean Rouch / France / 1965 / Czech Premiere / 16 min.
synopsis
The collective narrative film Paris Through the Eyes Of... was intended as a New Wave manifesto with the goal of reviving interest in it. It didn’t quite happen, though, but an interesting work was created, part of which is the story of Odile, who has a fight with her husband and meets a mysterious man. It was shot as two long single takes on 16mm film and later transferred to 35mm.
biography
Jean Rouch (1917-2004) was a visual anthropologist and initiator of the cinéma vérité current in France. His extensive filmography is not easy to grasp, but most of his work relates thematically to Africa.
