About This Movie

So, "Tuesday Jan. 9, 2007" is this intriguing documentary that’s more about the atmosphere than any grand narrative. It’s all set in a cafe that has this remarkable connection to Apollinaire, and you can really feel the weight of history hanging in the air. The way Jean-Jacques Lebel interacts with those three objects he gives to Mekas—an autographed book, a Futurist manifesto, and one of Apollinaire's last drawings—creates this palpable sense of reverence. The pacing is quite meditative, almost like you’re eavesdropping on a really thoughtful conversation. It’s a niche slice of art history, with a real sense of intimacy and exploration of legacy, which collectors like us can appreciate.
