💡 Did You Know?

This film was shot in 1978 in the region of Metz, which is not mentioned explicitly but that we recognize the facade of the station, which appears several times. This is the second film by Patrice Chéreau. This is a tragedy: in a twilight atmosphere and a dirty light, journalists are disillusioned, unenthusiastic, depressed or alcoholic, and no one believes in saving a newspaper that will actually sink. The failure to start is the same on arrival, but in the meantime there have been deaths.

📖 Synopsis
