Jerry Lewis - 2ème partie

About This Movie

So, Jerry Lewis - 2ème partie is part of that 'Cinéastes de notre temps' series, you know? It aired back in '71, and the whole vibe is pretty intimate, almost like you're sitting in a cozy room with Lewis himself. The pacing is relaxed, letting you soak in his thoughts and musings without rushing. What’s distinctive here is the blend of personal anecdotes and insight into his artistic process—there’s a real sense of Lewis as a multifaceted creator. The atmosphere is reflective, almost nostalgic, and you really get an appreciation for his contribution to cinema. It’s not just a biography; it’s more like a conversation with a legend.

This episode has seen limited official releases, which adds to its scarcity among collectors. Copies may pop up occasionally, but they’re not exactly commonplace, making it a neat find for those interested in French cinema or the work of Jerry Lewis. The documentary approach and its candid nature really set it apart from other retrospectives, so that sparks some interest in niche collector circles.
