As a film critic, journalist and writer, Michel Ciment has been a major witness of the history of cinema for the past fifty years. A sagacious explorer of this specific world in perpetual motion, a talent scout, a destroyer of the half-hearted, a man of tirades, he shares with us his insatiable thirst and his passion for movies that, over the years, has remained unimpaired.
