Une vie dans la journée d'Albert Cossery
A café, the Flore ; a restaurant, Lipp ; a park, the Luxembourg Gardens ; a hotel, the Louisiane. These sites constitute the impassable horizons of the great Egyptian writer Albert Cossery, who has been living in Paris since 1945. He is now 92. He has lived his daily life in this narrow perimeter in a virtually unchanging routine. It was here, too, that the legend of the man and the writer was forged: as spare in his work—he has published in all eight books—as he is in his movements—laziness is a sort of supreme gift to him. Enjoying a privileged relation with the writer, director-photographer Sophie Ley was the only person who could persuade him to take part in this filmed portrait.
