2026 · 58 min

In 2015, Arrietta portrayed his friend François-Marie Banier — his studio, his photographs, his paintings — with a Mekas-like freshness and cheerful detachment. Ten years on, a visit to a country house adds another piece to the fragmentary account of a life shaped by encounters and friendships.

MovieDocumentary
A family portrait in which the director profiles his grandmother, Odette Robert. Eustache includes in the film the conditions of its production — he is seated at the table with her, pours her some whiskey, speaks with the camera operator, manipulates the clapboard at the head and tail of the reels, and even takes a phone call. Robert, who was seventy-one, speaks rapidly and tells the story of her life, starting from her early childhood in villages in the Bordeaux region of France. A shorter version of the film ("Odette Robert") was edited in 1980 to be broadcast on television on TF1. The complete film only gained exposure in 2002, when it was salvaged by Boris Eustache, Thierry Lounas, João Bénard da Costa, Jean-Marie Straub, and Pedro Costa.
