Cahiers du cinéma n°784 - February 2022

This issue of "Hiers Cinema" focuses on the theme of "invisible territories" and political perspectives in French cinema, featuring in-depth articles and interviews with directors such as Alice Diop, Alain Guiraudie, and Stéphane Brizé. It explores how filmmakers represent marginalized communities and engage with political issues, particularly through the lens of the "Gilets Jaunes" movement. The magazine also delves into the works of Axelle Ropert, highlighting her film "Petite Solange," and features a dialogue between François Bégaudeau and Marcos Uzal on the concept of "naturalism" in cinema. A significant portion is dedicated to critical reviews of films such as Alexandre Koberidze's "Sous le ciel de Koutaïssi", Sean Baker’s "Red Rocket", Betrand Mandico's "After Blue" and Joanna Hogg's "The Souvenir" films, among others, and it reviews several films in the "hors salles" section. The issue also includes a retrospective on Marco Ferreri, book reviews, and articles on film festivals and restorations.
