Robert Enrico, bref passage sur la Terre

  VERSION FRANÇAISE

  Presentation by and discussion with  director Jérôme Enrico

« My father, Robert Enrico, directed 22 films! The most famous? Le Vieux fusil (The Old Gun), Les Grandes gueules (The Wise Guys), Les Aventuriers (The Last Adventure)… and for connoisseurs a short film, Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, Palme d’Or in Cannes, Oscar in Hollywood. My father was a filmmaker, I’m a filmmaker… Like bakers, we make films from father to son. And the least I could do was to make one about him. But where to start? By the only movie that does not appear in his filmography, the only movie he only dreamt about and in this sense belongs to him forever: Le Coup de foudre (Love at First Sight), with Catherine Deneuve and Philippe Noiret, a movie that no one will ever see! »

From these images found but never projected, Jérôme Enrico returns to follow his father’s footsteps, son of Italian immigrants, passionate about cinema and who succeeded in becoming one of the great names in the industry.

A personal quest nourished by numerous archives and testimonies that takes us from the 60s through the 90s French cinema and evokes emotion and sensitivity, creation, filiation and transmission.
