Howl (2010)

It's San Francisco in 1957, and an American masterpiece is put on trial. Howl, the film, recounts this dark moment using three interwoven threads: the tumultuous life events that led a young Allen Ginsberg to find his true voice as an artist, society's reaction (the obscenity trial), and mind-expanding animation that echoes the startling originality of the poem itself. All three coalesce in a genre-bending hybrid that brilliantly captures a pivotal moment-the birth of a counterculture.

Annie Ernaux, je suis née quelque part (2024)

A woman who has become part of literary heritage, the only French writer to be awarded the Nobel Prize in 2022, she has made her life the basis for her work since the publication of her first novel in 1974... What can be said that her books haven't already said? On the occasion of her grand return to her hometown in Normandy, as she explores the places of her early childhood, this icon of several generations looks back on her youth and what made her the committed woman and writer she has become. Through a geographical and narrative journey covering her first 25 years, which resonated throughout the following 60 years, the film—the only one she has agreed to participate in since winning the Nobel Prize—offers a "different" portrait of Annie Ernaux, interweaving her personal memories, her writings, and the history of the 20th century.
