Raymond Depardon’s brilliant self-portrait (co-directed by his longtime collaborator and wife Claudine Nougaret) takes a surprising point of view on the great documentarian’s life—not only as a filmmaker, but as a photographer of expressive precision, capturing the entirety of French society over the decades. The patience of this imagemaker’s practice is testament to an alternative to the hyper-fast, instant delivery of digital images that now dominates the culture, unveiling Depardon as a true artisan of the visual.
