A personal film library and the patient shaping of an artist in the making.
Vivre sa vie, Edward Scissorhands, Breathless, Bully, Pulp Fiction, L’Auberge espagnole, Fight Club, Pretty in Pink… Stéfanie Tremblay rented and watched enough films to come to believe that Jonquière, her hometown, is actually Twin Peaks. At a very young age, she had a revelation with Trainspotting, watched at least a hundred times, then came the time of her first apartment, Britpop, punk, and long evenings spent at the bus terminal nurturing the art to come—what she would want to pass on from her life as a woman.
Cinéma is a tribute to those years of sentimental and artistic education, a serene look at bygone moments, and a farewell to her father, a quiet and gentle craftsman, the calm beacon of a tempestuous calling.
