Cavalier Express offers a new reading of eight short films by Alain Cavalier, conceived and presented in the form of a unique story. A look of the filmmaker on his contemporaries, but also on his own cinematographic approach which, from the 60s to today, has continued to evolve towards a refinement, a stripping, always in the pleasure of filming. Past and present collide, overlap and nourish each other in this new opus of the Une mémoire en courts collection.

Jean-Luc Godard composes a dazzling syncopation of sequences, the surge of which evokes the violence of the flows of our contemporary screens, taken to a level of incandescence rarely achieved. Crowned at Cannes, the last Godard is a shock film, with twilight beauty.
