About This Movie

We (2022) by Alice Diop is this intriguing documentary that takes you on a ride along the RER B. It's not just a train; it's a journey through the very fabric of Parisian life. The film captures these gritty, almost poetic portraits of individuals from different backgrounds, weaving a narrative that feels both intimate and vast. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere of the suburbs and inner cities, making you reflect on identity and community. There's a rawness to the way Diop presents her subjects, with no frills or embellishments. The film really stands out in how it invites you to think about the connections between these lives, the shots feel almost like vignettes of a larger story, all tied together by the railway.
