Synopsis
Using his own experience — starting from the earliest films seen as a budding cinephile and ending with his first feature, The Clockmaker (1974) — as a way to revisit some of the directors, actors and composers who graced French movies between the 1930's and 70's, Tavernier focuses on a dozen or so major and minor auteurs, showcasing their artistry in hundreds of film clips that he comments on with historical insight and aesthetic precision.
