These three films by the acclaimed
French filmmakers Emmanuel Finkiel, Claire Simon, and Raymond Depardon provide
an intimate look into different aspects of quotidian life in France. Delicate
threads of memory and history, love, and the cycle of life connect the three
stories. The filmmakers respect the human dignity of their subjects, avoiding
sensationalism and giving full attention to the poetic, sometimes harsh,
reality of their everyday lives. In the process, they create sublime reflections
on the documentary genre and meditate on their own relationships to their
subjects and to the idea of objective truth.
