Les yeux brûlés

About This Movie

Les yeux brûlés is a contemplative documentary that revolves around a young woman’s journey to retrieve a military canteen linked to the missing photographer Jean Péraud. The film captures the melancholic atmosphere of Roissy airport, a site of both arrival and memories, as she engages in poignant discussions with former press colleagues. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to soak in the weight of loss and the fragmented nature of memory. It’s deeply reflective, exploring themes of war, identity, and the personal toll of conflict. The rawness of the interviews, coupled with the haunting imagery of Péraud's work, creates an immersive experience. It’s a unique piece, not just a documentary but a meditation on the human cost of history.
