For the past 40 years, Jean Douchet has talked about cinema. All cinema. This is a film about the impact of his words, which it tries to make visible. But there are writings, too: from the first New Wave campaigns to the singular approach to the films of Alfred Hitchcock. All that, written or spoken, without breaking the link between film genres, distant as they may be in time and space. Jean Douchet ponders how he would write his autobiography. Not with smug introspection, which his moral integrity would not permit, but as part of a reflection that always seeks to associate the events of a lifetime with critical and artistic initiatives. The film is built around Douchet’s talks with Pascal Bonitzer and Jean-Louis Comolli, his analyses of films, which reflect the scope and diversity of his unique undogmatic vision of cinema, and his visits to the places of his childhood and youth.
