Jeanne Moreau Cineaste box (Carlotta): Lillian Gish documentary 1983 - Blu-ray Forum

UnionJackMix · 09-27-2023, 06:08 AM

I see this new release listed, while I'm a fan of Lillian Gish, I'm not enough to have known about a documentary on her from 1983 by (mainly) actress Jeanne Moreau.
I don't see a thread dedicated to Lillian Gish (searches came up empty). Does anyone know about this movie? Not sure I want to buy a box set with those three movies just for this one?

This trailer for the set has a few clips from the Lilian Gish documentary which gives a taste of the film, albeit a brief one.

I've not seen it but I understand it's a 60-minute filmed interview conducted by Miss Moreau and made for TV.

Ah merci beaucoup, there is also Simone Signoret! I think I was crazy not to have immediately purchased it. And I can't wait to watch the Lillian Gish documentary.

Just received my copy, it looks really well done. Will give the discs a play in the next days.

Just watched the Lillian Gish documentary. It lovely and Miss Gish is as sharp as a tack and seems charming.

The image comes from a tape source but looks amazingly good, as if it were restored 16mm film (the original shooting format) in HD.

According to DVDCompare, the French language films do not include English subtitles.

Indeed, they do not. A shame, given that Carlotta are releasing the same thing in the U.S., so they'd clearly have the rights to do so.
