Kenji Mizoguchi
This is a scar born from a knife strike in the back of the young Mizoguchi, coming from an enamoured jealous prostitute. This event enabled him to become the great cineast of women, and much more !

La Roue - A restored Masterpiece
François Truffaut - Des films d'amour !
Virginie Apiou
"I only film people who are always active. Even if their activity is strange, weird." The activity François Truffaut talks about here is love. Romantic or filial love. Love as an educational, political and social action. The love imagined by a filmmaker who wanted to show that love is within everyone's reach ! To gather Truffaut's formulas in a documentary rekindles how Truffaut communicates the essential.
