Filmed at the fine art printing studio in Paris, France, and "virtually wordless", it documents the lithographic process.
Reviews
One of my all time favorites.
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
"Idem Paris" is a collaboration between France and the United States. It is one of the recent (short) films by famous director David Lynch and he has made many short films in his career to this date, so it's no surprise that this one is from 2013 here, will have its 5th anniversary next year. It depicts the work at a French printing studio. There is no narration. It runs for 8 minutes and is in black-and-white. Sadly, the subject here is so specific that only those who work in the same area as the people depicted here may have an interest in checking this one out. If they aren't sick of their job, that is of course. So yeah, it is not really an informative watch, just a state of affairs really and it is certainly not a film for general audiences. The best is maybe the sound work here as it really sounded pretty beautifully at times, but what we see at the same time is so irrelevant and difficult to understand to pretty much everybody that I just cannot recommend the watch. Thumbs down. Only worth seeing for printers and Lynch completionists. I was glad it was this short.
