Vermeer, Beyond Time (2017)
Douban
Guillaume Cottet / Jean-Pierre Cottet actor: Pierre Arditi
other title: La revanche de Vermeer
Vermeer, Beyond Time explores the life and work of one of the most loved, influential, and well-known artists, Johannes Vermeer. Images from his paintings have become part of our collective imagination and are instantly recognizable. In this new feature documentary, French filmmaker Jean-Pierre Cottet adopts an imaginative and sensitive approach to his subject, focusing on not only his work, but also his family life; including his conversion to Catholicism, his artistic contemporaries, and the wider world of the short lived Dutch Golden Age of the 17th Century. In 1675, overwhelmed by poverty, physically weakened, and humiliated, Vermeer dies at the age of 45. Soon afterwards, his paintings are sold to cover his debts, and Vermeer disappears from memory. His rediscovery some 200 years later has seen his popularity soar, claiming both our hearts and our admiration.

other title: De Gaulle: histoire d'un géant
戴高乐将军逝世50周年之际,这部传记纪录片重温他从1890年出生到1970年死后葬于科隆贝双教堂村的一生。这部史诗记录这位改变了历史、对法国人带来深远影响的男人,所具有的高瞻远瞩和背负人生使命。直到今天,不少政治人物仍深受戴高乐主义的影响,自视为戴高乐思想遗产的继承人。即使在他逝世50年后,查尔斯·戴高乐在法国人的集体记忆中,仍具有十分崇高的地位。 50 ans après la mort du Général De Gaulle, ce film retrace son parcours, de sa naissance en 1890 à son enterrement à Colombey-Les-Deux-Eglises en 1970. Cette épopée raconte la force visionnaire et le destin rectiligne de cet homme qui a changé le cours de l'Histoire et qui influence encore la vie des Français. Certains dirigeants politiques revendiquent encore aujourd'hui une partie de son héritage. Charles De Gaulle reste l'Homme providentiel dans l'imaginaire collectif des Français, même 50 ans après sa mort.
