Jean Achache

In 2016, French writer and photographer Carole Achache took her own life. After Carole's death, her daughter Mona Achache, a film director, discovers thousands of photos, letters and recordings that Carole left behind, but these buried secrets make her disappearance even more of an enigma. Through the power of filmmaking and the beauty of incarnation with the help of actress Marion Cotillard, the director brings her mother back to life to retrace her journey and find out who she really was.

Most of the action takes place in two dressing rooms of a Parisian theater during the performance of a successful play. Marion, 40, beautiful and famous, is the star. Gabriel, her 55-year-old husband, is less fortunate: he's the one who discovered Marion, but never managed to impose himself. That evening, throughout the performance, the couple will indulge in a savage settling of scores, while the anecdotes of the evening and the other actors provide a comical counterpoint to the monstrous confrontation.

Fictionalized portrait of one of history's great literary couples: Stein & Toklas. Summer 1930s France, Alice tends to ailing Gertrude; they visit Fernande Olivier, Guillaume Apollinaire, others; and Hemingway pops in.

Frustrated with her life, a Parisian tells her philandering husband about her lover.

Filmmaker Jean Achache shot extensively on the set of ’Round Midnight. This documentary presents that material for the first time, including footage of director Bertrand Tavernier, production designer Alexandre Trauner, and other members of the cast and crew.
