My Journey Through French Cinema @ Robert Classic French Film Festival

My Journey Through French Cinema
(Voyage à travers le cinéma français)
Bertrand Tavernier, 2016, 201 min., color and B&W, Blu-ray projection source

Writer/director Bertrand Tavernier (A Sunday in the Country, Round Midnight) is truly one of the grand auteurs of the movies. His experience is vast, his knowledge is voluminous, his love is inexhaustible, and his perspective is matched only by that of Martin Scorsese. This magnificent, epic documentary has been a lifetime in the making. Tavernier knows his native cinema inside and out from the giants like Renoir, Godard, and Melville (for whom he worked as an assistant) to now overlooked and forgotten figures like Edmund T. Gréville and Guy Gilles and his observations and reminiscences are never less than penetrating and always deeply personal.

The New York Times Manohla Dargis writes: Bertrand Taverniers My Journey Through French Cinema delivers what it promises. Even so, its explanatory title doesnt begin to convey just how exhilarating or inspiring a documentary this truly is, and how excellent a trip this well-respected French director takes you on. Deep, thoughtful, immersive, specific yet also wide-reaching, it is an exploration of French cinema by one of its own, a cinephile whose formative movie love evolved into a directing career that includes titles like Coup de Torchon, Life and Nothing But and Captain Conan.
