French, English (English subtitles)
Directed by Frédéric Sojcher
Starring Maria de Medeiros, Marisa Berenson, Nathalie Baye
Medeiros sets out on the trail of a lost movie, and her bio-doc becomes a thrilling investigation into European cinema’s forgotten past.
Is European art-film the victim of a heretofore unsuspected Hollywood plot? Director and film theorist Frédéric Sojcher’s playful mockumentary whisks the viewer off to Cannes, Venice, and Berlin. Sojcher’s work is a game in which the viewer never knows where the truth ends and the mystification begins.
A choice morsel for all film lovers.
