A fascinating look at the birth of a newspaper and a kind of celebration of the free press as a vital social institution, Numéros zéros follows Le Nouvel Observateur director Claude Perdriel as he endeavors to launch a new daily paper.
A fascinating look at the birth of a newspaper and a kind of celebration of the press as a vital social institution, Numéros zéros (filmed in 1977) finds Raymond Depardon following Le Nouvel Observateur director Claude Perdriel as he endeavors to launch a new daily paper, Le Matin de Paris. Depardon takes us into the nascent publication’s conference rooms and frenetic newsroom, as Le Matin’s staff labors to produce test editions in advance of the paper’s first proper issue, and what emerges is a spellbinding image of journalistic work as an essential pillar of modern society, something like a tribute-in-action to the enduring value of a free press.
