In 2022, two French filmmakers have adapted the attacks of November 13, 2015 to bring them to the big screen. If each decides to refer to them without reconstructing them, they offer two very different faces and registrations around the same event.
While Cédric Jimenez takes viewers into the heart of counterterrorism over the five days of investigation that followed the November tragedy, Alyssa Winokur is intrigued by the aftermath of the Paris Revoire attack survivors.
In the story of Mia (perfectly played by Virgin Efira), who tries to recover herself psychologically three months after the attack in a Paris bar, Alisa Vinokur relies on her own memories (her brother was at the Bataclan that night), as well as the testimonies of other victims. “A community made up of people who tried to rebuild themselves together, sometimes back on the stage.”as he describes them.
Therefore, the film’s title takes on a full meaning, addressing both our collective memory and the fragmented memory of the heroine who walks the streets of the French capital to find herself there.
Winner of the 2023 Alice Guy Prize for Best Director, Alice Winokur writes a poignant story of resilience. It is his most rated film by AlloCiné Internet users, who give it an average audience rating of 4 out of 5.
