'My Journey Through French Cinema' Q&A | Bertrand Tavernier | NYFF54

Title:

Description:

Director Bertrand Tavernier discuss their film 'My Journey Through French Cinema' following a screening at the 54th New York Film Festival, in which it inspired this year's Retrospective section.

Bertrand Tavernier is truly one of the grand old men of the movies. His experience is vast, his knowledge is voluminous, his love is inexhaustible, and his perspective is matched only by that of Martin Scorsese. This magnificent epic history has been a lifetime in the making. Tavernier knows his native cinema inside and out, from the giants like Renoir, Godard, and Melville (for whom he worked as an assistant) to now overlooked and forgotten figures like Edmund T. Gréville and Guy Gilles, and his observations and reminiscences are never less than penetrating and always deeply personal. A Cohen Media Group release
