Lajournade has only directed two feature films, here is one of them.
It’s a very rare copy but in good quality. You can see how his cinema has influenced Philippe Garrel (whom had worked as an assistant for Lajournade). It’s pure underground cinema from the late 60’s and it’s unfortunalty his last film.Read More » -

René Féret1971-1980DramaFranceQuote:
A solemn communion meal is the excuse to dwell in the collective memory of a family whose descendants are meeting today.

Guests of the communion separate at the end of the film, but we know their origins: their memory was reconstructed before our eyes like a puzzle.Read More »
