“En revoyant nos films Super 8 pris entre 1972 et 1981, il m’est apparu que ceux-ci constituaient non seulement une archive familiale mais aussi un témoignage sur les loisirs, le style de vie et les aspirations d’une classe sociale, dans la décennie qui suit 1968.”

Super 8 home movies are the flickering surface for Annie Ernaux’s reflections on the past in this poignant film, made together with her son. Personal and political revolutions flare across a cinematic memoir as beautiful as the bare and bruising prose for which the Nobel Prize winner is renowned.
