Hi Mister Comolli

Hi Mister Comolli

A few months before he died, Jean-Louis Comolli meets up with Dominique Cabrera for some free conversations with Isabelle Le Corff. They talk about cinema, life, love, death and Chassagne-Montrachet wine. There is laughter and smiles. One is not really serious at the age of eighty.

Nicolas Philibert, Hasard et Nécessité

This is a peaceful conversation between two filmmakers, Nicolas Philibert and Jean-Louis Comolli. A conversation, or the pleasure of spending time together. Nicolas Philibert describes with great precision his way of working and invites us to examine the ethical dimension of his process.

Suzanne’s Career

Suzanne’s Career

In the second of Rohmer's moral tales, he examines the relationship between two friends and a girl who at first appears easily exploited. It is a complex tale of feelings and misconceptions, acted out within the head of the main character, as part of Rohmer's attempt to more easily simulate the mindscape quality of literature within a film.
