Le 15/8

About This Movie

So, 'Le 15/8' is this fascinating little gem from '73 that really plays with the idea of solitude and introspection. The pacing is languid, kind of draws you in as you watch this young woman just meander through her thoughts, reflecting on life, all while the camera lingers in these long, almost meditative takes. It’s not your typical documentary; it feels more like a slice of life, showcasing the quiet beauty of everyday moments. The atmosphere is thick with a sort of dreamy melancholy, and there's something intimate about how the filmmaker captures her in that sunlit Parisian apartment. It feels personal, almost voyeuristic in a way, which makes it stand out in the genre.

Finding a copy of 'Le 15/8' can be a bit challenging, given its niche appeal and the fact that it's not widely circulated. Most collectors look for the original release or any limited editions that might pop up, though they’re rare. The film has gained a sort of cult status among those who appreciate introspective cinema, and the conversations around its themes of solitude and reflection have only grown over time, making it an interesting piece for serious collectors.
