Henri Langlois: The Phantom of the Cinémathèque

A spirited portrait of the life and tumultuous times of Henri Langlois, founder of the Cinémathèque Française and father of the French New Wave, who made a mania for cinema a good thing, saving thousands of films from the Nazis and neglect and bringing lost masterpieces to light. A long but riveting mix of archival footage, impassioned remembrances, and biting political observations by those who were there.
