Our Days, Absolutely, Have to Be Enlightened

About This Movie

Our Days, Absolutely, Have to Be Enlightened is a fascinating blend of documentary, drama, and music, capturing a unique emotional landscape. The film unfolds in Orléans where inmates perform a concert, but what's striking is that we never see them. Instead, the focus is on the audience, creating this profound sense of connection and distance. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the music and the reactions of the listeners to breathe, which adds layers to the emotional weight. It's about freedom, yes, but also about the unspoken bonds that music can forge, even from behind walls. The rawness of the performances and the invisible presence of the singers linger long after the credits roll.
