Six vignettes set in different sections of Paris, by six directors. St. Germain des Pres (Douchet), Gare du Nord (Rouch), Rue St. Denis (Pollet), and Montparnasse et Levallois (Godard) are stories of love, flirtation and prostitution; Place d’Etoile (Rohmer) concerns a haberdasher and his umbrella; and La Muette (Chabrol), a bourgeois family and earplugs.Read More »

Jean-Daniel Pollet – Trois jours en Grèce [+ Extras] (1991)
Documentary1991-2000FranceJean-Daniel PolletQuote:
From Provence to Greece, a very personal travel diary shot while Jean-Daniel Pollet accepts an invitation to participate in a conference. Leaving is always a fantastic endeavor and the filmmaker sublimates the experience by gleaning images of places and loved ones. Images of Delphi, Bassae, Ancient Greece … But for Pollet these images are not enough, and he must also speak of the world … News, television and even Peugeot advertising images, which resulted in the film being blocked for many months.Read More » -
Jean-Paul Fargier & Jean-Daniel Pollet – Jour après jour AKA Day After Day (2006)
2001-2010DocumentaryFranceJean-Daniel PolletJean-Paul FargierThe film is based on the pictures Jean-Daniel Pollet took before dying for an entire year, day by day. The film recounts the filmmaker’s life as he saw it through his camera lens. Extremely debilitated from being hit by a train in 1989, in 2001 he retired to his farmhouse photographing the now more restricted world around him. Jean-Paul Fargier has tried to uses these images, interwoven with footage of moments spent with his friend, to create a piece about this artist and to render as faithfully as possible the feelings that drove him. “When he ordered the text from me, Jean-Daniel only imposed two words: anxiety and serenity. I understood that he spoke of his own anxiety, his own serenity, his life approaching its end, his work about to reach an abrupt conclusion. It is with those two words, as I heard them that I worked out the text, as Pollet’s confession.” (J. P. Fargier)Read More »

Jean-Daniel Pollet – Tu imagines Robinson AKA Imagine Robinson Crusoe (1968)
Jean-Daniel Pollet1961-1970ArthouseExperimentalFranceThis utopian fable that takes place on an island in Greece, is freely inspired by Daniel Defoe’s novel and speaks above all about loneliness: the immense weakness of today’s man, confronted by his loneliness, is no longer that of the hero of the 18th century. Robinson Crusoe’s story is only seen as the fictional basis, which is surpassed to achieve something universal that time does not alter. The spectators are put in the condition of being interested above all in the writing of the images and not in Robinson’s story, since in general they know it.Read More »
