So, this documentary, 'Simenon et l'affaire du cinĂ©ma' directed by Anne Martinetti, dives into the complex relationship between Georges Simenon, the renowned writer, and the world of film. Itâs a fascinating exploration, really. Simenon was this literary giant, yet he claimed to despise cinema, and the film ponders why. Maybe itâs the claustrophobia of the projection room or the frustration of not being behind the camera himself. Martinetti weaves in interviews and archival footage, creating a reflective atmosphere that invites viewers to linger on Simenon's contradictions. The pacing feels almost like a slow unraveling of a mystery, much like Simenonâs own narratives. You can sense the tension between his literary prowess and cinematic disdain throughout.
