When asked to make a documentary about her friend’s mother—a Parisian astrologer named Juliane—the filmmaker sets off for Montmartre with a Bolex to craft a portrait of an infectiously exuberant personality and the pre-war apartment she’s called home for 50 years.
Cinematography
Bolex 16mm makes Juliane's apartment feel like a living jewel box.
Direction
Bohdanowicz disappears completely—rare documentary humility.
Director
Sofia Bohdanowicz
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Bohdanowicz shot this in six days with borrowed equipment and zero budget—Juliane's warmth made the film possible.
Part of a wave of micro-budget Canadian docs (think 'Stories We Tell' DNA) that treat ordinary lives as epic terrain.
