The Cinémathèque française — celebrating 90 years and 2 revolutions (rewind)

90 years ago in Paris, a little 50-seat screening room opened its doors... and soon become probably the most important cinema ever. This month, the Cinémathèque française celebrates its birthday with a retrospective, so we are too: with this encore upload of our episode all about the revolutions the theater launched, both on movie screens and in the Paris streets. Host Rico Gagliano tells the wild tale, with help from directors Barbet Schroeder (BARFLY, REVERSAL OF FORTUNE) and Luc Moullet (BRIGITTE ET BRIGITTE), plus L.A. Times film critic Amy Nicholson and many more. Vive le cinema.The Faust Bible: The Making of F.W.
