Synopsis

Journal de France is a diary of a journey through time. While Raymond Depardon photographs France, Claudine Nougaret finds fragments of unseen films that document his early days with the camera and his reports from around the world as pieces of his individual memory that become part of our collective history. The journey takes them to significant places from their past, such as Chad, Venice, and Cannes, and to a wealth of unpublished images from their archive: an interview with Jean-Bedel Bokassa, footage of Jean-Luc Godard, and extraordinary glimpses into private and public life. Journal de France thus becomes a unique portrait of a country, a comprehensive view of a film career, and a fascinating summary of the history of photography over the last half century.
