J'aime la vie, je fais du vélo, je vais au cinéma (2005)

rebelliousunderdog energycinephile catnip

Overview

Documentary

An amused and impertinent chronicle that shares with us a few months of the life of independent art house cinemas with demanding programming. The film talks about freedom, independence, possible alternatives to multiplexes and programmed normalization, the role of the spectators in a process of resistance that is growing and takes us far beyond the cinema.
