"An enticing amuse-bouche to an artist whose body of work has become essential viewing"—Variety
For six years, internationally acclaimed photographer and filmmaker Raymond Depardon travelled through France in an RV, capturing his home country with a large format camera. This long, solitary road trip provided fertile ground for the creation of a remarkable travel journal with his long-time partner and collaborator Claudine Nougaret. The journey brings Depardon back to important places from his past as a reporter—Chad, Venice, Cannes.
Documentary footage of the photographer in action is interspersed with a wealth of previously unseen footage from his archive: an interview with Jean-Bédel Bokassa, film of Jean-Luc Godard, extraordinary glimpses of private and public life.
Intimate, compelling, and revelatory, Journal de France offers a unique portrait of a country and its landscapes, an overview of an artist’s illustrious career, and a fascinating history of the development of the photographic art over the past half-century.
