Lumière, The adolescent, Lilian Gish. The freest actress in French cinema wrote and directed three films between 1976 and 1983. Lumière tells the story of four actress friends who take stock of their careers as well as their lives as women.
Next, it It is through the point of view of Marie (Laeticia Chauveau), a young 12-year-old girl, that the director explores the first emotions of puberty. The adolescent girl with Simone Signoret takes place in a small country village in the summer of 1939.
The last film is a documentary dedicated to the immense icon of American silent cinema Lilian Gish. A striking portrait-tribute in which the former star looks back on his beginnings in 1913 until his consecration with Birth of a Nation by DW Griffith, considered the first Hollywood blockbuster.
