Jacquot de Nantes

Drinks at Tournbride bar from 7pm, screening at 8pm

Once upon a time, there was a boy who was raised in a garage where everyone loved to sing. It was 1939, he was 8 years old, he loved puppets and operettas. Then he wanted to make movies, but his father made him study mechanics. This boy was Jacques Demy, and these are his memories. It is a happy childhood that is told to us, despite the events of the war and post-war period.

“Extremely evocative, and vivaciously played by a cast of unknowns, this is a curious hybrid: part essay, part nostalgic reconstruction, at times sitting a little too cosily with the French vogue for faultlessly authentic reminiscence.” -TimeOut
