4XD

About This Movie

4XD is a fascinating glimpse into the world of French cinema in the early '60s, showcasing four rising stars: Mireille Darc, Marie Dubois, Catherine Deneuve, and Françoise Dorléac. The film has this relaxed, almost spontaneous vibe, capturing the actresses in candid moments, which makes it feel more like a slice of life than a structured documentary. Philippe Labro’s approach is refreshing, almost intimate, as he weaves their personalities into a narrative that feels both personal and exploratory. The pacing is unhurried, allowing viewers to absorb not just the performances but also the cultural atmosphere of the time. It's a well-made piece, but what really stands out is the rawness of the actresses, each showcasing their unique charm in an era where they were just beginning to define their careers.

Finding a copy of 4XD can be quite the hunt; it’s not exactly a common title in collector circles. Many collectors appreciate the documentary format, especially with such a focus on emerging talent in a pivotal era of cinema. The scarcity of original prints adds to its allure, and there’s a growing interest in films that capture the essence of cinematic history like this one.
