There are no current or future screenings planned for this film.

“A ‘watercolor film’ in the colors of the past. It is by its delicacy, its shudders, that it touches us.”
Le Monde

Two actresses. One tribute. A love letter to a life lived in the cinema. Jeanne Moreau pays homage to the American silent film star and looks back on her career first as a child star and later in works such as D.W. Griffith’s BIRTH OF A NATION and INTOLERANCE.
