Des bagnoles et des arbres

About This Movie

Des bagnoles et des arbres is this intriguing dive into the mind of Salomé, who’s grappling with what it means to create a woman’s film. The tone is contemplative, almost philosophical, as it weaves together her personal journey with the broader questions of femininity in cinema. The pacing has a slow, immersive quality, allowing you to sit with her thoughts and the landscapes she captures. What’s distinctive here is how it feels like a blend of documentary and introspection—where the practical effects are simply the raw, real moments and the performances, mostly from Salomé herself, feel intensely personal. It’s not your typical documentary; it’s more like a meditative exploration of identity and creativity.

Des bagnoles et des arbres is relatively obscure, which adds to its collector allure. Given the lack of information on its director and release year, copies can be quite scarce, making them harder to find. The film resonates with those who appreciate a deeper narrative; it’s definitely one for collectors who enjoy the more thoughtful side of documentary filmmaking.
