Les Années déclic

On the shore of Lake Geneva, Brigitte Bardot turns towards the camera during the making of Louis Malle’s Vie privée. Six years later, at the Mutualité in Paris, Martin Luther King stands before a microphone, his figure picked out against a dark background. Both photographs were included in the Paris exhibition.

Anne-Dominique Toussaint’s Galerie Cinéma presented the photographs to mark the publication of Les Années déclic by Éditions du Seuil. The book pairs Raymond Depardon’s archive with Gérard Lefort’s writing. That summer the Institut Lumière devoted its Galerie Cinéma on rue du Premier-Film in Lyon to a selection from the book.
