After twenty films, Alain Tanner offers us reflections on his experience, which are, at the same time, his vision of cinema and its evolution, in a miscellany that fuses a vision at once political and moral of the seventh art. Structured with notes, digressions or brief essays, they allow a discontinuous journey, of lucid distancing and humor without forcing oneself to the strict chronicle of his life or the appearance of his works. Aware of the scope that cinema has on individuals, Tanner speaks to us of a libertarian and optimistic cinema, in which the possibility of escape, exile or a new way of integrating into the adventure of humanity always appears.
