Film show: French director André Bonzel's 'Flickering Ghosts of Loves Gone By'

ENCORE! © FRANCE 24

Thirty years after his first film "Man Bites Dog" premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 1992, André Bonzel’s poignant, personal documentary "Flickering Ghosts of Loves Gone By" is released on French screens. He joins us to talk about his love of archival footage and how a surprise phone call uncovered half-forgotten family memories and sparked a cinematic journey.

Next, film critic Lisa Nesselson tells us how the early days of the United States of America and the formative years of Abraham Lincoln are rendered in ethereal style in "The Better Angels".

We also discuss the adaptation of French family hit "La Famille Bélier" into the Oscar-winning "CODA", as the film is screened in French theatres for one weekend only.
