As a film critic for the non-profit magazine *Les fiches du cinéma*, I also host the cultural program “Le Bon Plan”: through short videos, I analyze effective directing techniques in a way that is both rigorous and accessible.
I am a member of the French Film Critics’ Union, as well as the National Agency for the Development of Regional Cinema.
Today in France, one in five films is adapted from a literary work. The exchange between cinema and literature has never been so flourishing, even though this convergence actually raises a fundamental question: what are the similarities and differences between “putting into words” and “staging”? Does the book have the privilege of narrative, while cinema has that of sensations? A question more complex than it seems, to which François Barge-Prieur will attempt to provide some answers by drawing on a number of excerpts from books and films.
