In Memory

About This Movie

So, 'In Memory' is this really poignant documentary from '87 that dives deep into the impact of Simone de Beauvoir’s life and legacy. It’s not flashy, but there's something incredibly intimate about Delphine Seyrig’s pilgrimage to Beauvoir's grave. The atmosphere is somber, almost reverent, as she finds it adorned with flowers and heartfelt letters from admirers worldwide. It’s a quiet reflection on mortality, memory, and the passing of time, which feels especially poignant given the context. Seyrig’s presence adds a layer of warmth - her approach isn't just a tribute; it’s a personal connection to a philosophical giant. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing the viewer to really soak in the surroundings and emotions. It’s distinct in its sincerity, almost like a meditation on remembrance.
