About this event

Julien Davenne is a journalist whose wife Julie died a decade ago. He gathered in the green room all her objects. When a fire destroys the room, he renovates a little chapel and devotes it to Julie. With Truffaut starring as the death-obsessed journalist and Baye, playing a secretary he befriends, it’s an experience which Baye, surprisingly remembered fondly for the fits of laughter she shared with her director and co-star Truffaut. Nonetheless, it remains a particularly mournful film. The film was nominated for Best Cinematography at the César Awards in 1979.
